| Beschreibung: |
The twenty-five plates are numbered 1-19A, 19B-24. The 'Explication Of The Plates' calls for thirty-one plates numbered 1-19A, 19B-30, but those which it lists as nos. 25-30 are in-text headpieces and tailpieces. All plates and the six numbered head- and tail-pieces are signed as engraved by T. Major. Additionally two plates are signed as painted by Jolli (pl. 2, 3), and one as drawn by Magri (pl. 19A), and the headpiece of the dedication is signed as drawn by S. Wale. In his address 'To the Reader' Major states that an English gentleman 'to whom the following work owes its birth' procured views of the temples at Naples, that others were taken in the presence of Sir James Gray, and that the plans, elevations and measures were taken on the spot by J.G. Soufflot, who 'has generously assisted the engraver'. The work is dedicated by Major to George, Duke of Montagu. Printer's device on title page: London: Published by T. Major, in St. Martin's Lane. Printed by James Dixwell, MDCCLXVIII. |
