Sir William Musgrave (1735-1800) was an administrator, print collector, and antiquary. He was involved with numerous cultural societies, including the Royal Society where he became a member in 1774 and in 1780 was appointed one of the society's vice-presidents. In 1778 he was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquariest; he also served as one of the visitors of the Royal Observatory. Musgrave was known as one of the foremost collectors of engraved British portrait prints; his collection, along with those of Horace Walpole and James West, would form the basis of James Granger's Biographical History of England (1769). He also made numerous catalogs concerning British portraiture but is best known for his "A general nomenclator and obituary", a bibliography of obituaries.

Title: Memoranda for additions to Lord Orford's Anecdotes of painting in England / H.E., 1822.

Manuscript, in a single hand, listing Musgrave's additions and notes written from a copy of the second edition of Horace Walpole's Anecdotes of Painting. The entries provide either further or contradictory biographical information about artists named in Walpole's work, and cite bibliographical references. Each entry is annotated with information about where the comment appears in Walpole's edition. The manuscript also includes a list of additional artists which Musgrave compiled after the title page, speculating that they would appear in Walpole's fourth volume.

Catalogue of the scarcest portraits, circa 1800.

Resource

Catalogue of the scarcest portraits, circa 1800.

Title: Catalogue of the scarcest portraits, circa 1800.

Manuscript catalog of portrait prints, probably belonging to a British printseller, ca. 1800. The inventory is in three sections, with headings "Portraits anglois, rares" (p. 4-212), "Etrangers en Angleterre, rares" (p. 214-238), and "Portraits étrangers" (p. 239-241), apparently incomplete. Within each section, items are arranged alphabetically by subject. Each item is annotated with varying amounts of notes, recording information such as artist, engraver, engraving technique, and a brief description of the portrait. Many of the items are also annotated with references to published works about portrait prints or references to auctions of prints; references to auctions include prices, in English currency. Many of the items are coded with the initials S.W.M., followed by a price. These are prints from the collection of Sir William Musgrave, with the prices they fetched at auction, by William Richardson, in 1800. Consult: British portraits. A catalogue of a genuine and extensive collection of English portraits. [London], 1800. The description of entries in the manuscript frequently matches that of this printed work. Items coded "R. fev 1799", with prices, refer to A catalogue of a genuine and valuable collection of English and foreign portraits, india drawings, &c. comprising ... an auction catalog by William Richardson from February, 1799. Other codes refer to important catalogs of prints. The code 'G', with a Roman numeral and Arabic number, refers to volume and page numbers in James Granger's A biographical history of England, from Egbert the Great to the Revolution, first published in 1769. Granger's catalogue was the first important catalogue of English portrait prints and helped to create a fashion for portrait print collecting in England. Similarly, items coded 'B' in the manuscript refer to page numbers in A catalogue of engraved British portraits, from Egbert the Great to the present time, by Henry Bromley (pseudonym of Anthony Wilson), first published in 1793.
