'Sunday 9th November Set off with Mr Justice Welsh and his Daughter, who were at this time at Rome, and old Nulty the Antiquarian, ina Coach for Tivoli - before we came to the bottom of the Mountains the Carriage broke down - as I was the person who had engag'd it, I was under great apprehensions of very severe reflexions on the Occasion from Nulty particularly, as he was of a very sarcastic turn, but I was agreeably deceived when the Old fellow turned it to a joke and comforted the justice with saying that he never in his life knew of an Italian Coach that would last a journey throughout-' '10th Went to see the Villa d'este and the Grotto of Neptune as 'tis call'd - the One an immense production of Art and the Other a wonderful One of Nature - being an enormous Cavern worked out of the Rocks by the impetuosity of the River -'

ClassificationsArchival Document
Scope and content This series comprises images of works by artists who were British by birth, foreign artists who worked in Britain or foreign artists who painted British sitters abroad. The works featured date from c.1500 to c.1900. The images in this series form by far the largest part of the Photographic Archive. Images remain in their original order: organised A–Z by artist name. Significant artists, or those for which there is a wealth of material, have multiple folders of images. In these cases, images are further subdivided by genre or type, depending on the artist. They may also be organised in ‘catalogue raisonné order’. The images predominantly depict oil paintings but prints and other works on paper are also included.
Acquisition information The collection has always been in the possession of the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art (or its predecessor institution, the Paul Mellon Foundation).
ArrangementThe archive has been arranged in its original order.
Conditions governing use The images in the Photographic Archive are derived from a variety of sources, so copyright in the collection is varied. The copyright status of each image is detailed at item level in the catalogue.
Accruals It is anticipated that new images may be added to the Centre’s Photographic Archive in future. These may be generated via the Centre’s everyday activities (such as the publishing programme). They may also come from external sources (such as donations by scholars or institutions).
