Francis Grose Greetings Card
Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:
Francis Grose NPG D16503
© National Portrait Gallery, London
by John Kay
Kay's print was made while Grose was collecting information for The Antiquities of Scotland (1789-91). It shows him inspecting an inscription dated 1216 on an ancient ruin - though Kay was evidently confused by the numbers, reversed in the process of printing from plate to paper.
Card size: 125mm x 175mm
Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
