Peale's Poe

A forgotten portrait of Edgar Allan Poe by Rembrandt Peale, American painter of Revolutionary days, was discovered by Americans in the collection of Lord Lee of Fareham, former First Lord of the British Admiralty, who gave his estate, Chequers Court, to England, as a residence for its Premiers. The picture was painted in Philadelphia in 1833 and is now on exhibition at the Scott & Fowles Galleries, New York.
