$a An account of the appreciation of Italian art in Britain was Italian art and Britain [Royal Academy exhibition catalogue] (1960). On Cumberland see G.E. Bentley, A bibliography of George Cumberland 1754-1848 (1975); G. Keynes, 'Some uncollected authors, 44: George Cumberland 1754-1848', in Book collector, 19 (1970) p.31-65. The Royal Academy's sale of the Cumberland collection is described briefly in J. Fenton, School Of Genius A History of the Royal Academy (2006), p.23, 291-2. Studies of the history of engraving include D. Landau and P. Parshall, The Renaissance print 1470-1550 (1994); A. Griffiths and R. Williams, The Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum (1987); T. Riggs, The Print Council index to oeuvre-catalogues of prints (1983); M. Melot, Prints: history of an art (1981). |

$a The 'Anecdotes Of Julio Bonasoni' and the catalogue of his works were originally published in 1793 under the title, 'Some Anecdotes Of The Life Of Julio Bonasoni ...'. The Appendix consists of 'A Catalogue Raisonnée of all the prints ... of the British Museum, intitled, Roman School; Marc Antonio Raimondi ...' and Memoranda of other rare prints at the Museum. The two sheets of plates show engravers' monograms and marks. The collection of early Italian engravings described in this catalogue as in the possession of the Royal Academy had been bought from George Cumberland in 1820 for £600. Arranged in a series of 9 folio albums it represented the Academy's most important holding of old master prints. In 1967 however the RA Council decided to put it on the market and employ the proceeds to establish a staff pension fund. The sale was handled (somewhat ironically) by P. & D. Colnaghi's Print Department, who sold the highest value items on commission and dispersed the remainder as part of their general stock. Among the most valuable prints was a complete set of E-series 'tarocchi' cards, which Cumberland had felt 'ought to have gone direct to the British Museum', but been reassured by the thought that its being 'at the Academy will secure it to the country'. |
