Notities
- The first edition of the first volume of the most comprehensive and elaborate drawing magazine of the 18th century. Possible a family copy, with the name Emma Fitzgerald on the front-end-paper. With the later ownership name of Hesketh Hubbard noting its purchase in 1940. ESTC notes that the British Library attributes the work to Charles Taylor, however the initial printing for T. Williams and the name of Francis Fitzgerald, Drawing Master, as author of Volume I, the ‘Heads of Lectures,’ makes this unlikely. A single copy of the prospectus is recorded in the Bodleian. “To the ladies. This day is published, to be continued monthly, (price one shilling. Ornamented with six elegant copper-plates, historical and preceptive, engraved in the manner of chalk. A new edition of number I. of The artists repository, and drawing magazine, exhibiting the principles of the polite arts, ... London: printed for T. Williams, ... and sold by H. Goldney.”
- Gravures van Francesco Bartolozzi (1727-1815)
- Bevat: Heads of lectures on the polite arts / by Francis Fitzgerald
