Inscribed in plate, below: 'Mr. Walpole in his Anecdotes of Painting &c. Vol. IV, p. 22, speaking of the Cartoons at Hampton // Court, observes that Sir James Thornhill 'having made copious studies of the heads, hands // and feet intended to publish an exact account of the whole, for the use of students: but this // work has never appeared.' // As the present plate was found among others belonging to the late Mr. Hogarth, it // is not impossible but that it might have been engraved by him for his father-in-law Sr. James's // intended publication.'
