A catalogue of a most superb and distinguished collection of Italian, French, Flemish, and Dutch pictures : a selection formed with peculiar taste and judgment by John Trumbull, Esq. during his late residence in Paris, from some of the most celebrated cabinets in France : consisting of the undoubted works of the following great masters, in the highest state of preservation : Raphael, Titian, Pordenone, Bassan, Spagnoletto, Guercino, Guido, Salvator Rosa, Murillo, Poussin, Rubens, V.

This is a London auction catalogue of 1797 issued by the auctioneer James Christie, listing Old Master paintings from a collection John Trumbull assembled in Paris for sale to British buyers. The one picture shows a dense ornamental tailpiece of a shield, crossed spears and a trumpet-like horn wreathed in foliage and ribbon, a classical trophy motif a designer could borrow for emblem or border work.
