THE RECORD OF THE ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY GUERCINO IN THE ROYAL COLLECTION. While on the Grand Tour, the Earl of Bute collected original drawings by the Bolognese artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, called Guercino (1591-1666). These drawings were later presented to George III and entered the Royal Collection. George III's librarian, Richard Dalton, met Francesco Bartolozzi in Italy in the early 1760s. Dalton brought Bartolozzi to London in 1764 to produce engravings after these drawings; other engravers on the project included Dalton himself, James Basire, Giovanni Vitalba and Lady Louisa Augusta Greville. The Boydells subsequently published a second volume titled Seventy-three Prints. Lowndes II, 953. Together with: an album of fifty engravings, most after Guercino.
