Lot Essay

This album of drawings includes studies of buildings, antiquities and furniture executed in Italy, as well as antiquities supplied and installed at Castle Howard, six designs for medals, designs for dinner invitations and visiting cards, and designs for light fittings.

The album was compiled by the artist in 1815, and it seems likely that some of the dates were added later.
