"1876 - A View of the Forty Steps by Sam C. Bailey. Painted and presented to my nieces. This painting was made in my 70th year without having had instruction, and never having made an attempt with a brush, except on a ship broad side until my 69th year, so don't be critical. God prosper and bless you. S.C.B"
