An 1798 London auction catalogue issued by the auctioneers Peter Coxe, Burrell, and Foster for the sale of Michael Bryan's collection of Italian, French, Flemish, and Dutch paintings at his Pall Mall gallery. The only picture is a decorative headpiece of classical figures driving a chariot drawn by horses, set above the printed title block. A designer might take from it the engraved ornamental band style, with its sculptural procession and dense line work used as a classical divider.
