P.S. The story behind the stamp: The artist who painted Elizabeth Clarke Freake and her baby, Mary, remains a complete mystery, though we know he (or she!) trained in the Elizabethan English style and all of the subjects were from Boston. The artist is known as the Freake Painter or The Freake Limner and ten of their portraits survive.
