Some of the drawings are copies of engravings including those by Pierre Berchet, Claude Lorrain, and other unidentified sources. A few portraits are unidentified but most have been annotated with the name of the subject, some with additional annotations in Horace Walpole's hand: Sr. R. Walpole from Wotton; W.
