Page 21 contains a summary of the years accounts, noting that 44 pictures were completed, 4 pictures were engraved and that a total sum of £1803.5 was paid to Richmond.
The c. 1860 dating for this year has been derived from the 1860 date at the front of the volume; it is assumed that Richmond retrospectively added account details for the years 1853-1859 when he started using the volume. |
