Sneyd, Walter, 1809-1888. Portraits of the Spruggins family / arranged by Richard Sucklethumkin Spruggins, Esq. ... MDCCCXXIX, 1829.

Title: Portraits of the Spruggins family / arranged by Richard Sucklethumkin Spruggins, Esq. ... MDCCCXXIX, 1829.

Illustrated manuscript of Walter Sneyd's Portraits of the Spruggins family. Although the manuscript is not signed by Sneyd (nor inscribed in any manner), it appears to be his own fair copy manuscript, perhaps used as the basis for the version published in 1829. Text is in a neat and uniform copperplate hand throughout, in pen and black ink. Illustrations are also in pen and black ink, with linear applications of gray wash. Text and illustrations in the manuscript are nearly identical to that in the published work. In comparison to the printed edition, the manuscript has minor variations in layout. The portrait of Richard Sucklethumkin Spruggins, placed as the frontispiece in the printed version, is placed after the dedication in the manuscript. The pedigree of the Spruggins family, found just before the portrait of the present Mrs. Spruggins in the printed work, is placed at the very end in the manuscript. The content of the text appears to be nearly identical to the printed version. The only apparent variation is found in the description of Saliva Spruggins, who in the printed version is "sole heiress of Giles Sucklethumkin, Esq. of Berwick-upon-Tweed"; in the present manuscript, Giles is "of Spitalfields". In the manuscript, the copyist provides whimsical illustrated initials at the beginning of each page of text; these are omitted from the printed version. Many of the initials are composed of one or two human figures amusingly posed (with props) to form the shape of the initial letter. The full-page illustrations in the manuscript are highly finished and generally identical to those in the printed version. The somewhat crude lithographic versions in the printed edition lack the finer details and finesse of the corresponding illustrations in the manuscript.
