Description

The rebus of Brilliant is formed by a bee, roots or branches of a tree in the shape of R, an eye, the two letters L, formed as the R, an eye, and an ant. Mr. W. H. Holland says there are two different dies of this piece. Marvin has examined and seen many impressions, and all traced are apparently alike, so he is unaware what differences there are.

OBVERSE.—The square and compasses enclosing the All-seeing Eye: behind them is a key-stone. Legend, above, “* William W. Long *,” and, below, “Nos. 376, 378, & 380, So. 3rd St., Philada.”

REVERSE.—lnscription in ten lines, “ Pistol & rifle galleries I bagatelle & shuffle I boards I Liquors, oysters I Segars, &c. I Bnillhant I refectory & I Museum I Hotel billiards and bowling.” The first and last lines curve to conform to the edge of the piece: the second, third and fourth also curve the sixth is a kind of rebus. (Scarce.)
