Title devised by cataloger. Date of publication based on printmaker's death date. Text below image: Literam Libri Manuscripti initialem pulcherrimé depictam et Authoris Icona hoc modo exhibentem. Sheet trimmed to plate mark. Annotated by Horace Walpole in ink on verso: Trivet.
Provenance
Formerly owned by Horace Walpole with his annotations. Possibly part of the nineteen portfolios of English portraits broken up in the London sale (Strawberry Hill sale, 1842) and offered in lots 1-570, 601-728, containing one to forty or more prints each. Prints with Walpole's annotations are gathered under this call number for convenience rather than any solid evidence that this specific print was part of these lots. See Hazen for further information.
