This familiar picture was originally given gratis to purchasers of the 1784 edition of the Meditations, and is thus described in Coghlan's catalogue, issued with the Laity's Directory for 1785: "An elegant representation of him in his pontificals ; the face of the figure finished by J. Thornthwaite, from a real portrait painting, the design of an eminent master in his lifetime, and the engraving inspected by one of the first artists in that line ; the background of which is taken from the Altar and Sanctuary of the much admired Chapel in Duke-street, Lincoln's Inn Fields". The advertisement concludes : "To oblige those who may desire to be possessed of this elegant Engraving only, a few plates are taken off, and will be sold so low as is." This picture has been frequently reproduced in the Derby reprints and elsewhere.
