Catalogue of the very choice collection of water-colour drawings and pictures of John Dillon, Esq., deceased : also, a few marbles, bronzes, and Etruscan vases : which will be sold by auction by Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods, at their great rooms, 8 King Street, St. James's Square, on Saturday, April 17, 1869 ..
An 1869 auction catalogue from London by Christie, Manson & Woods, offering the water-colour drawings and pictures of the late John Dillon, Esq., for sale at their King Street rooms. The single plate is a sepia photographic portrait of a seated, older bearded man in a dark frock coat with a white collar, resting one hand on a draped table. A designer might take from it the formal studio portrait convention of a vignetted oval-cornered mount on a warm sepia ground.
