$a The work was published serially in fourteen parts between March 1792 and February 1800. According to ESTC the completed work should contain an introduction by Chamberlaine carrying the date of June 4 1800. This publication was a landmark in making the drawings known, for, as the Advertisement states, many 'have never heard that such a collection is extant, and very few indeed have ever seen the originals'. Chamberlaine went on to publish reproductions of other drawings in the royal collection. The first frontispiece shows a self-portrait of Hans Holbein; the second, a portrait of his wife. The other plates show, as the title states, 'Drawings ... For The Portraits Of Illustrious Persons Of The Court Of Henry VIII' (including some members of the royal family): Sir John More, Ld. Vaux, the Duchess of Suffolk, J. Poins, P. Melanchthon, Ldy. Eliot, Sir Henry Guldeford, the earl of Southampton, Ldy. Lister, Sir Thomas Strange, Ld. Clinton, Ldy. Vaux, Edward VI, Ld. Wentworth, Ldy. Ratcliffe, J. Reskimer, T. Parrie (Parry), Ldy. Hobby, Sir Thomas More, Sir Thomas Wyat, Ldy. Parker, C. Wingfield, the Earl of Derby, Ldy. Audley, the Bishop of Rochester, Ld. Rich, Ldy. Rich, Sir Thomas Elyot, Sir William Sherington, the Marchioness of Dorset, Queen Jane (Seymour), J. More, Thomas earl of Surrey, Sir Nicholas Poins, Sir Richard Southwell, the Lady of Richmond, William (Warham) Archbishop of Canterbury, J. Colet, Ldy. Berkeley, Sir George Carew, N. Borbonius, Ldy. Meutas, John Russell earl of Bedford, Francis Russell earl of Bedford, Sir John Gage, Ldy. Henegham, Ld. Cobham, Ldy. Borough, Queen Anne (of Cleve), Sir John Godsalve, S. George, Ldy. Butts, Sir Philip Hobby, Sir Gawen Carew, Lady Mary (afterwards Queen), William Par marquis of Northampton, Henry Howard earl of Surrey, Countess of Surrey, Sir Nicholas Poins, Ldy. Monteagle, Queen Anne (Boleyn), Ormond, Queen Catherine (Howard), Mother Jak, [unidentified male], M. Souch (Zouch), Henry and Charles Brandon dukes of Suffolk, [unknown female], Edward Prince of Wales, Edward Prince of Wales, [four unknown males and seven unknown females]. Many plates are printed on pink paper, and have been tipped in. Although Bartolozzi's stipples are described as imitations of the drawings, the engraver has taken the liberty of transforming what were studies for paintings into 'completed' compositions. The work was issued in reduced size in 1812 and in 1828. |
