$a Volume I has its title-page dated 1773 but some plates dated 1774, 1775, 1776. Volume II has its title-page dated 1774, but some plates dated 1775, 1776. Volume III has its title page dated 1775, but some plates dated 1776. Volume IV has its title page dated 1776. Two supplementary volumes were issued in 1773 and 1787. Grose had been exhibiting tinted drawings of architectural remains at the Royal Academy since 1769. His Antiquities is an important record, as several of the buildings shown in it no longer exist. Some plates show plans, but most illustrations are picturesque views of castles, monasteries and other old buildings, with descriptive notes. The buildings are shown in alphabetic order of county, except in Vol. IV (v. I. Bedfordshire - Gloucestershire; v. II. Hampshire - Northamptonshire; v. III. Northumberlandshire - Sussex; v. IV. Warwickshire - Yorkshire, Wales, Isle of Man). Most drawings for the work are held by the Society of Antiquaries, London. |
