2 May 1772:11,12 (2/7 Postscript)
Boston, May 2. We hear that there are many curiosities
belonging to the ingenious Mrs. Wells, of the city of
Philadelphia, who was lately in this town on a visit, and
has left the same in the hands of Mr. John Boardman, during
her absence, at whose house, next to Mr. Jolly Allen's, in
Marlborough Street, they may be seen. These excellent
waxwork figures, eighteen in number, taken in full length,
we think deserve the attention of the curious publick. . .
[description of several figures and settings]
V. A representation of an entertainment on the return of the
Prodigal Son to his father's house, . . . with a musician in
company, the table being spread to entertain them, all of
which serve to raise the highest emotions of delight in
those who view them. . .
