  • Scope and Content
    Likenesses appear to be "in very good drawing, prettily coloured and grouped with a great deal of judgement, and also quite free from any affectation of attitudes and grace in which artists are apt to indulge, especially in the portraits of children." Mentions 'baby'. "Lady St Johns is precisely the one she had when a girl, so very handsome she was."
