: A hand-colored engraving of the 1770 Boston Massacre by Paul
Revere that turned up in a trunk from the estate of Elizabeth
Storer soared to $195,500 at Grogan and Company's September 26
auction.
The work had been estimated conservatively at $2/4,000 and was
hammered down to an anonymous buyer in the room amidst a round of
applause.
Auctioneer Michael Grogan also applauded staffer Hercules
Pappachristos, who had unearthed the image from the trunk.
A complete review of the sale will appear in a future issue.
