A female Parliament? Viewing of Stuart's painting of Washington...

Item # 694357 ·
THE WEEKLY MUSEUM, New York, March 17, 1798  Page 2 has a tongue-in-cheek article: "Proceedings In A Female Parliament - House of Ladies" with commons on: "Mrs. Fidget" "Mrs. Precise" & "Mrs. Clacket".
The back page has an ad: "General Washington" for a viewing of a pairing: "... This painting is as large a life; was painted by Mr. Gilbert Stuart, an American, the greatest painter of the age..." with other details.
This is almost certainly the famous Lansdowne portrait of Washington.
Four pages, 9 1/4 by 11 3/4 inches, scattered foxing, good condition.
