$a Most of the plates of Volume I carry the name of a draughtsman, and all except the folding plan of Althorp carry the name of an engraver. The draughtsmen were E. Blore, T. Uwins and R.W. Satchwell (in one case written as S.W. Satchwell). The engravers were W. Finden, W. Woolnoth, W. Skelton, Bocquet, C. Picart, M.S. Bavenger, Thompson, J. Fittler, Worthington, J. Mitan, Edwd. Scriven, W.T. Fry, S. Freeman, W. Holl, T. Wright, I.H. Robinson, I. Scott. Of the six in-text illustrations of Volume I one is signed by the draughtsman G. Lewis, and the six are signed by their engravers, P. Audinet, Geo. Cooke, M.S. Barenger, I. Scott and Hesse. The numerous in-text illustrations of Volume II are unsigned, apart from one, which carries the name of the engraver S.F. Freeman. Most plates carry the imprint, 'Published for Rev. T.F. Dibdin' and 'Printed by Lahee'. The colophons of both volumes repeat the name of the printer, W. Nicol. |

$a The second volume has a distinct title: 'Supplement To The Bibliotheca Spenceriana; Or A Descriptive Catalogue Of The Books Printed In The Fifteenth Century, In The Library Of George John Earl Spencer, K.G. By The Rev. Thomas Frognall Dibdin, F.R.S. S.A. Librarian To His Lordship'. Publication-dates are carried by most plates in Volume I. Most are dated 1822; but one carries the date 1821, and eleven that of 1820. The text of the first volume consists of short accounts of 'The Proprietors Of Althorp' and of the hall, dining room, drawing room, library, staircase, picture gallery and bedrooms of the house, describing their pictures. But the greater part of the volume (p.37-236) is an account of the contents of the library. Volume II consists entirely of a bibliography of fifteenth-century books. It is a supplement to Dibdin's Bibliotheca Spenceriana (4 v., 1814-15). Of the plates in Volume I one is a folding plan of Althorp, four show external and interior views of the house, five reproduce paintings in the collection (from originals by Anguisciola, Cuyp, Raphael, Polenburg and Rembrandt), and the rest reproduce family portraits (from originals by T. Phillips, P. Lely, A. Kauffman, Dobson, G. Kneller, C. Jansen, J. Reynolds and A. More). The in-text illustrations show more views and reproductions of paintings. The numerous illustrations of Volume II show passages of text and illustrations (mostly woodcuts) of fifteenth-century books. |
