Ex has 2 copies of the Dawkins print and one of the Doolittle (View of Nassau Hall, Princeton) all in enclosure with spine title: Nassau Hall / Doolittle and Dawkins prints.
Artist information: Tennent was probably either William Mackay Tennent (1744-1810), a member of the Class of 1763, or William Tennent (1740-1777), of the Class of 1758. As William Mackay Tennent would have been in Princeton in 1763, he is the more likely.
