| Sitters for portraits exhibited at the Royal Academy
(1785)
From 29 April 1785 the Daily Universal Register of London ran a review of the new exhibition of the Royal Academy at Somerset House. The comments on the pictures are brief and often unflattering; nor are the artists always named; the pictures are referred to by their catalogue numbers. Jocular venom could not so lightly be included in descriptions of portraits of named individuals. This is the index to those sitters. | Sample scan, click to enlarge
