$a The author of the prefatory note appears to be the owner of the collection. The two frontispieces and most plates are unsigned. But six carry the name of a draughtsman - Tendi (pl. 151, [152]) or Piroli (pl. 155[-158]) - and a few, that of an engraver or etcher - P. Vitali (pl. 3, 9), Cromek (pl. 84, [132], [140]), 'L.R.' (pl. 96), Basire (pl. 122), W. Skelton (pl. 123), Cardon (pl. 151, [152]) or Piroli (pl. 155[-158]). The prefatory note states that several of the engravings were made before the sculptures left Italy. |

$a The title of Volume II. reads, 'Engravings and Etchings Of Sepulchral Monuments, Cinerary Urns, Gems, Bronzes, Prints, Greek Inscriptions, Fragments, &c. In The Collection Of Henry Blundell, Esq. At Ince. Vol. II.' The plates in Volume I show ancient statues, busts, masks - and one modern statue, a Psyche by Canova (pl. 17). Those in Volume II show ancient bas-reliefs (including sarcophagi and votive tablets), a mosaic and architectural fragments, and four modern paintings by 'Spagnolet' (Jusepe de Ribera) (pl. 155-[158]). Most leaves carry a printed caption identifying the object shown - although Blundell remarks in his prefatory note that names of ancient statues 'are often given them by caprice'. To house his sculptures Blundell commissioned a neoclassical 'pantheon' and garden 'temple'. After his death the collection passed to the Weld family, who presented it to Liverpool Museum in 1959. |
