Is this sentence correct: "The Met lion was also purchased in 1948 from Joseph Pulitzer Bequest, a New York antiquities dealer". It seems odd to me, and I suggest it should read "The Met lion was also purchased in 1948 with funds from the Joseph Pulitzer Bequest". The "Joseph Pulitzer Bequest" seems to be listed as the provenance of a number of items in the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Joseph Pulitzer being of course the publisher Pulitzer, of the Pulitzer prize.
