Notes The portrait of Strangford was inserted in Evans's "English Bards ...." in 1819. It is placed adjacent to the passage where Byron accused Strangford of plagiarism in his publication of "Poems from the Portuguese of Camoens"; Strangford had the plate for this print destroyed so that it would not be used in this way by extra-illustrators (see Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries, 1873-76, p. 520, where the print is attributed to Scriven; information from Bernard Nurse).
