[George Vertue's drawings of items in the collection of Edward Harley, Earl of Oxford] [art original].

A group of drawings by George Vertue of items in the Earl of Oxford's collection, many presumably sold in the sale of 1741-2. Among the items depicted are urns, busts and statues, various fragments with Greek inscriptions, a medal, an ossuary, and a sarcophagus. The group of drawings ends with a copy the portrait by Van Dyck of Sir Kenelm Digby and his family, and it begins with Vertue's original drawing for the engraved frontispiece to: A catalogue of Greek, Roman and English coins, medallions and medals, of the Right Honourable Edward Earl of Oxford, deceased
