$a Cumberland's lengthy catalogue of Bonasone's works (p. 48-100) is divided under the following heads: Sacred pieces of Bonasone's own invention; Sacred pieces with Bonasone's name as engraver only; Sacred pieces indisputably engraved by Bonasone but without name or mark; Sacred pieces with names of inventors as well as engraver; Pieces of Scripture subjects still doubtful, attributed to Bonasone; Poetical and historical inventions of Bonasone; Pieces not marked Inventor but attributed from style; Pieces that seem from Giulio Romano; From Polidore; From Raphael; From Bolognese; From Parmigiano; Pieces decidedly by Bonasone though without his name; Portraits; Addenda. In his 'Plan for the improvement of the arts in England' Cumberland advocates the creation of a National Gallery. The concluding advertisement is for two works 'Published by the same Author': 'Lewina the maid of Snowdon' and 'A poem on the landscapes of Great Britain'. The only plate shows a blank escutcheon supported by putti carrying the masks of tragedy and comedy, and probably intended for a book-plate. |
