Abstract:

Collection of small engravings from various works printed at Strawberry Hill. These include two fleurons, two decorated initial letters, two of Horace Walpole's bookplates (one printed on orange paper), and several vignettes, two of which are signed "C. Grignion sculp." Among the vignettes are several images of Strawberry Hill, one annotated "R. Bentley del." by Thomas Kirgate and another, printed in blue ink, annotated "J.H. Muntz del." by Horace Walpole. In addition to the arms on Walpole's bookplates, the Walpole crest is depicted on one vignette (annotated "Wale des." by Thomas Kirgate) and the Buckingham coat of arms with the motto "Templa quam dilecta" is depicted on another. Also included is a portrait in profile of Antonio Magliabechi, done from a medal.
