ENGLISH HISTORICAL PORTRAITS.

THIS SERIES OF PORTRAITS, ILLUSTRATIVE OF ENGLISH HISTORY, is engraved
from highly-finished Drawings of ORIGINAL PICTURES, existing in various
Galleries and Family Collections throughout the country, made with
scrupulous accuracy by Mr. G.P. HARDING: the greater portion never
having been previously engraved.

M.M. HOLLOWAY, having purchased the whole of the impressions and plates,
now offers the Sets in a Folio Volume, bound in cloth, and including
Biographical Letter-press to each subject, at the greatly reduced price
of _£_2 12s. 6d., and _£_4 4s. 0d., for Proofs before Letters, of which
but 18 copies remain.

in the Strawberry Hill Gallery.

QUEEN KATHARINE OF ARRAGON, from a Miniature by HOLBEIN, in the
possession of the Duke of Buccleugh.
