Case Auctions of Knoxville, Tennessee has prepared a fascinating auction catalogue in conjunction with their 2025 Winter Art & Antiques Sale that occurs January 25-26. For those who have a yen to browse interesting material, expect to spend a bit of time.

Audubon, lot 145
An appealing painting, lot 163
Black History, lots 171-211
A View of New York, lot 253
