Content Description

Title page and lots 65 to 91. Many annotations by Anderdon. He notes that the RA Diplomas were withdrawn from sale; the houses in George Street sold for £8000; that the sale began with 35 lots of framed engravings, then drawings by Bartolozzi which sold for 5 to 6 guineas each. Anderdon has noted prices realised for lots 65-91. Anderdon says that the sale room was crowded with the curious, wanting to know what the Government would acquire for the National Gallery.
