Joseph A. Whalen, paperhanging and painting, Philadelphia
This pencil portrait is by Adolph Mailliard (b. 1819 in Bordentown, New Jersey), son of Bonaparte’s personal secretary, Louis Mailliard (b. 1795). It is believed that Adolph made the portrait on one of the many trips which Bonaparte and the Mailliards made to Europe. He sent the portrait as a gift to Mrs. Langhorne Thorne, the concierge at Point Breeze. Adolph settled in San Rafael, California in 1867.

King Alexander and the Stag (Also known as Alexander III, King of Scotland, rescued from the Fury of a Stag by the Intrepidity of Colin Fitzgerald; The Stag Hunt)
Charles Robert Leslie (1794-1859), who lived in Philadelphia and studied under Benjamin West (1738-1820) in England, copied West's painting Alexander III, King of Scotland, rescued from the Fury of a Stag by the Intrepidity of Colin Fitzgerald.
