Small printed flyer describing Thomas Gainsborough's portrait "Blue Boy." Probably designed to be handed out to the public or posted during one of the painting's frequent public exhibitions at the British Institution or the Royal Academy throughout the 19th century. Typographic style indicates that it was printed some time in the 1870s. The painting was sold to Henry E. Huntington in November 1921. Prior to its departure to California, "Blue Boy" was put on display in the National Gallery in London in January 1922.
