NOTE:
This was one in a set of Minton plates exhibited in Vienna in 1873. In the Minton Archives ledgers, one plate from this exhibition is said to have been sold to the "Massachusetts Museum," probably a reference to the MFA. It is likely that George Washington Wales acquired the plate for the MFA; it was certainly in his possession by 1874.
