Abstract: Identified in an old hand on the impression in the British Museum, as Lord L------n. [Lansdowne?]. On another impression he has been identified as Sir Nash Grose. He strongly resembles British Museum sat 4917. He appears to be wearing a legal wig and gown which would make the identification with Sir Nash Grose more probable. The wig resembles that worn by Serjeants at law, see BMSat 5900; (Grose (1740-1814) did not become a serjeant till 1774. D.N.B.)"--British Museum online catalogue
