Notes

The portrait of Viscount Strangford (1882,0513.421) describes him as 'His Britannic Majesty's Ambassador at the Ottoman Port' a post that he held from was 820-24, indicating that the print must have been a late addition to the volume.

See 1886,1122.5.38 for an account of the destruction of another print of Strangford to avoid its use by extra-illustrators.
