J. Hay delin.t. J. Collyer sculp.t
[1814]
Engraving, small margins, platemark 220 x 200mm (8½ x 8"). Very fine

Hutchinson is seen here in the composition of that work, while Allan holds one of the manuscripts from his collection. A genealogical chart lies on the table while on the bookshelfs behind are famous works such as Camden's 'Britannia'. Published as frontispiece to the publisher John Nichols' 'Literary Anecdotes' (1814)- the only engraved portrait of either sitter.
