$a The pamphlet has been bound in the volume with its printed paper cover which reads, 'Description / of the / Shield of Æneas / now exhibiting at the / Royal Academy.' Pitts exhibited his design at the Royal Academy in 1828. In addition to the folded plate detailing Pitts' design, the pamphlet contains extracts from Virgil's Aeneid, book VIII, lines 885-977. The work was never completed before Pitts' death in 1840 but an unfinished copper version of the 'Shield of Aeneas' was exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and again at the London Exhibition of 1862. |
