Annotations / title notes

• Notes

  The earliest work in English solely devoted to the restoration of pictures. The final leave is an advert for the cleaner. The Advertisement leaf at the end offers the artist’s services in cleaning, restoring and preserving pictures for Noblemen and Gentlemen (“his charges will be extremely moderate, for having other resources, employment in a pursuit congenial with his taste, is more object than emolument; and in all cases the strictest honour may be depended on”). His address is given as Brook Lodge, High Wycombe, Bucks, and the Cambridge catalogue names him as John Bengo.
