Biographical/Historical Note

The Society of Dilettanti was founded by Sir Francis Dashwood and other collectors in 1734. Formally organized as a London dining club, at least in terms of its bylaws, dues, etc., it consisted of young patricians recruited from acquaintances made on the Grand Tour, among the members were aristocrats, diplomats, courtiers, and men of the church, arts, and letters. With the mission of convival social exchange and cultivating the public interest in classical antiquity, the group aimed to correct and purify the public taste of the country. From the 1740s it began to support Italian opera, and from the 1750s it was the prime mover in establishing the Royal Academy. The most important role that the Society played in the cultural life of England is the contribution it made to the neo-classical movement by fostering an interest in the remains of classical antiquity. The society sponsored expeditions to Italy, Asia Minor, and Greece and published magnificent folio volumes such as the Specimens of Antient [sic] Sculpture, Antiquities of Ionia, and Unedited antiquities of Attica.
The two volumes of Specimens of Antient [sic] Sculpture were conceived by the collectors Richard Payne Knight (1751-1824) and Charles Townley (1737-1805). The first volume was published in 1809 with a commentary by Knight. The second volume did not appear until 1835. The work was intended as a comprehensive survey of the best specimens of Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek, and Roman marble and bronze sculpture and metalwork acquired by members of the Society abroad and housed in their private collections. Works in the collections formed by Knight and Townley account for most of the plates in the first volume. The remainder came from the galleries of Marquess of Lansdowne, Earl of Egremont, Thomas Hope, Earl of Yarborough and the Earl of Cork. By the time the second volume was published the Knight and Townley's collections were in the British Museum. Thus the second volume marks the recognition by a national institution of private and amateur collecting nurtured in the age of the Grand Tour. The work was intended to be an achievement in neo-classical connoisseurship, with images of high quality and scholarly text. Knight's commentary to the first volume aimed to establish a chronology and to affirm the superiority of Greek over Roman work. The symbolic attributes of the sculpture are discussed in the commentary to the second volume, compiled from Knight's papers by John Sawrey Morritt, Thomas Hope, James Christie, and Sir Richard Westmacott. The plates, most executed in stipple engraving, are among the finest representations of marble and bronze works of art before the age of photography.
Antiquities of Ionia followed the 1764 expedition and exploration of Ionia. The results were published in four parts in 1769 (pt. I), 1821 (2nd ed. of pt. I), 1797 (pt. II), 1820 (2nd ed. of pt. II), 1840 (pt. III), 1881 (pt. IV), and 1915 (pt. V). The results of another expedition by William Gell, John Peter Gandy, and Francis Bedford to Greece and Asia Minor in 1812-1813 were to be issued as the second vol. of pt. III, but the publication was put aside after the death of the architecture editor William Wilkins in 1839. The unpublished printed proofs for the 2nd vol. of part III were later discovered in the Society's archives, the metal plates were located in the custody of a copper-printer, and the fifth part of Antiquities of Ionia was edited and issued by W.R. Lethaby in 1915.
The English archaeologist, topographer, and explorer William Gell (1777-1836) became a member of the Society of Dilettanti in 1807. He participated in the 1812-1813 expedition to Greece and Asia Minor. The results of that expedition were issued in 1817 in Unedited antiquities of Attica, some were added to the 2nd editions of parts II and III of Antiquities of Ionia, but most were planned to form the second volume of part III of Antiquities of Ionia.

Series I. Drawings and printed proofs for Specimens of Antient [sic] Sculpture, undated, 1832, 1834

Physical Description: 23.6 linear feet (11 boxes)

Scope and Content Note

This series comprises 253 drawings and prints, including head- and tail-pieces, and twenty drawings for plates that are not part of the final publication. Note that the old spelling "antient" appears on the title page of the book.
There are no drawings or prints for plates no. 4, 21, 24, 27, 30, 31, 52, 54, 60, 63, 65, and 70 in vol. 1; and plates no. 3, 25, and 46 in vol. 2. Included are an unsigned manuscript note, and a wrapper.
The prints and drawings are annotated with the title of the final publication (correctly spelled), along with volume and plate numbers. Some contemporary evidence of renumbering of the sequence of plates is preserved. Other inscriptions include drafts for captions and dedicatory notes, dimensions, notes of repair, locations, and other comments. Most are inscribed with the name John Samuel Agar. Other engravers and draftsmen whose names are inscribed are William Bromley, Edward Francis Burney, George James Corbould, Henry Corbould, Franz Gabriel Fiessinger, William Finden, Alfred Robert Freebairn, Henry Howard, Edward Scriven, William Skelton, and Niccoló Schiavonetti.
The prints are proofs for plates in the second volume, with frequently several proofs for a plate present. The presence of multiple proofs with various annotations provides a glimpse into the process of selecting and captioning of the plates. Only four prints are states after letters.
The majority of drawings are wash drawings. Most of the prints are stipple engravings; only a few are executed as line engravings. The drawings are undated. Most of the proofs are also undated, except for four dated 1832, and four dated 1834. These surviving drawings and proofs for the second volume show how much of the work was completed before Knight's death.
The drawings for plates not included in the final publication are often unfinished and also not annotated. Two are inscribed with the names of Agar and Henry Corbould. Two are hand colored.
Arranged in the order of plates in the final publication.

Physical Description: 11 items 1 folder

Scope and Content Note

Included are 6 letters to Sir Henry Englefield, Secretary of the Society of Dilettanti, written during the 1812-1813 expedition Gell undertook to Greece and Asia Minor.

During this interval he filled his time by excavating and drawing at Eleusis. Gell's drawings were later published in various volumes of Antiquities of Ionia.
The letters date from Jan 11 to Jul 22, 1812. Gell writes about archaeological work at Eleusis and Corinth, frequently mentions drawings he made at these sites, and comments on the newly discovered Aeginetan sculptures he has had an opportunity to see. The letters are illustrated with small sketches in ink.
A letter written by Gell in 1834 from Naples to Lady Blessington in London concerns their common literary interests. Also present are five bank drafts by Gell, dated from 1806 to 1809 and addressed to Marsh, Sibbald & Co., Bankers in London.
