A catalogue of the pictures at Leigh court, near Bristol, the seat of Philip John Miles... With etchings from the whole collection. Executed by permission of the proprietor, and accompanied with historical and biographical notices
A 1822 London catalogue by John Young of the paintings at Leigh Court near Bristol, the seat of Philip John Miles, issued by the proprietor with etchings after the whole collection. Its plates are reproductions of old master paintings, so they show the compositions and subjects a collector of the period prized. A designer can take from them the dramatic landscape framing, the waterfall and rocky ravine views, and the compact pairing of a large plate above small labelled studies of heads and figures.
