James McPherson, Mount Pleasant, Philadelphia, 1762-65 (KEY WORK)
John Adams, 1775: “Rode out of town, and dined with Mr. McPherson. He has the most elegant seat in Pennsylvania, a clever Scotch wife, and two pretty daughters. His seat is on the banks of the Schuylkill. He has been nine times in battle; an old sea commander; made a fortune by privateering; an arm twice shot off, shot through the leg, etc. He renews his proposals of taking or burning ships.”

Benjamin West, The Death of General Wolfe, 1770 (KEY WORK)
Benjamin West: “The classic dress is certainly picturesque, but by using it I shall lose in sentiment what I gain in external grace. I want to mark the time, the place, and the people, and to do this I must abide by the truth.”

Scipio Moorhead, Portrait of Phyllis Wheatley, 1773 (KEY WORK)
“On being brought from Africa to America”:
Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,Taught my benighted soul to understandThat there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.Some view our sable race with scornful eye,“Their colour is a diabolic dye.”Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,May be refin’d, and join th’angelic train.
