$a The inscription incorporated in the frontispiece includes the date of 1763 (the date of the ending of the Seven Years' War). The frontispiece shows a bust of King George III, surrounded by symbols of his victories overseas. The plates show gems, enlarged but with actual sizes indicated, and captioned with the name of the subject. Plates 1-33 show figures from Greek mythology; 34-40 unidentified females; 41-49 poets and philosophers; 50-98 historical Greek and Roman rulers and celebrities; 99 and 100 modern subjects (Joannes Balleonius and Margarita Farnesia). Almost all the gems in Consul Smith's collection were modern. Consul Smith's gems were bought by King George III in 1762. |
