Note by Dr. Henry Wellesley on two engravings after Raphael related to drawings in his collection.

The note describes, firstly, an engraving of the same composition, in reverse, as Dr Wellesley's drawing of nuns; the measurements are given, and the inscriptions, the creator being Raphael and the engraver Saverio Salvioni, and the original in the possession of Count Ferretti De Presle. Secondly, a lithograph of the same composition as Wellesley's sketch of the Almighty with Jacob kneeling; the measurements are given, and the inscriptions, the copyist being F. Krammer and the lithographers Mansfeld et Comp., with Raffaelle da Urbino inscribed below. Dr. Wellesley has added a note that the drawing from which this was taken is 'not in so great a style as mine'.

The note is undated but bound following Dr Wellesley's letter of 23 May 1861 (see VIC/ADDA10/85/164), which relates to the drawings he lent to Ruland to be photographed for the Prince Consort's collection.
