Inscriptions

Inscription: MORE than a Century has elapsed since the Designs exhibited in the subsequent Plates were / executed. Charles Le Brun, the Designer, may be well styled the Father of the French School / of Painting, and this Work confers on him the additional title of Philosopher. / The annexed Dissertation is translated from the French; but that by Le Brun, which he / publicly delivered in the Academy of Painting and Statuary, is, it is to be feared, completely / lost: the drawings, however, in great measure, explain themselves. / The Editor takes this opportunity of offering his thanks to the various Artists, whose talents / have assisted him in bringing this Work before the Public. / J. P. BLANQUET. / London, June 11, 1827. //
