- Acquisition notes
- Inscribed in pencil on verso: "Lawrence's Sale May 11 / 30 Lot 191". Bought in the same lot from Lawrence's sale with 1973,U.859. Described by Ottley in the 1837 inventory as 'bad'.
Inscribed in pencil on verso: "AL" (not in Lugt).
The album F,7 was assembled in the early 1830s by J T Smith to contain the etchings by Rembrandt that had been acquired since 1810 when Philipe had arranged the Sloane and Cracherode collections in F,4 to 6. 86 items were inventoried in F,7 by Ottley before his death in May 1836, and he noted that these came from 'the sales of C.Josi, Baring and Pole Carew'. He added 'etc', probably referring to the gifts added at the end. Of the 86 prints listed by Ottley 54 (of which two had plus numbers) were registered as 1829,0415.1 to 52 (bought at the Josi sale in 1829); 1829,0623.1 (a single purchase from Colnaghi); 1835,0613.1 to 18 (bought at the Pole Carew sale at Wheatley's on 13 May 1835); and 1836,0412.2 (a single item from the Robert-Dumesnil sale). This leaves an extra 12 items in Ottley's list that never had a date number. For the prints acquired in 1829-35, the date numbers have been taken as the primary numbers, and the F,7 numbers have been entered as additional numbers. Nine prints are still are referred to by F,7 numbers, and presumably were never given a date number.
