Publisher: T. Gardiner
Published: 1811
Place of publication: London
Language: eng
Subjects: Pictorial works; Interior decoration; Brocklesby Hall (England)
Notes: Charles Anderson Pelham, the first Baron Yarborough, asked Tatham to design a new picture and sculpture gallery for Brocklesby Park 'to receive an extensive and valuable Collection of pictures, made by the late George Aufrere, Esq. which were formerly preserved at Chelsea, and have been inherited by Lord Yarborough ... ' (f.[3]a; see also Country Life 24 February 1934, pp. 197-198). The building was erected during 1807, and in the same year Tatham exhibited drawings of his designs at the Royal Academy (see Graves). The illustrative plates in the present work may have been engraved a few years before their publication here, for inclusion in Tatham's planned 'Collection of Designs' (see No. 3238 above). The work was issued in printed brown paper wrappers, with plate I being reprinted at the head, above the letterpress attribution to Tatham and the imprint (as on the titlepage), with 'Price Twelve Shillings.' beneath. This is followed by a list of Tatham's works 'published by T. Gardiner', including the companion-piece to the present work, depicting The gallery at Castle Howard (1811; see No. 3246). All of Tatham's folio works are also offered together, bound 'in One Volume, Price £8.'

There are typographical ornaments on the titlepage (at the head, centre left, centre right, and forming rules above and below the author's name and the imprint).
