- This is possibly an illustration to a supplement of John Topham's 'Some Account of the Collegiate Chapel of Saint Stephen, Westminster'. For further comment see G,3.268, G,3.264, and the note below.
On the previous sheet of the Crowle Pennat is pasted an 'Advertisement', with short descriptive notes next to Plate XVIII, Plate XIX, and Plate XX, followed by "In consequence of an order of Council of the Society of Antiquaries, (13th June, 1806) for engraving more Speciments of the Paintings lately discoverd in St Stephen's Chapel, the additional Plates and Letter-Press Account of the whole, will not be ready for Delivery, until after the Vacation. / June 26, 1806". This is followed by the printers address "T. Bensley, Printer, Bolt Court, Fleet Street, London". The location of this advertisement in the Crowle Pennant suggests that the following plates were made as part of a supplement to Topham's work.
For a note on Crowle's extra-illustrated Pennant, see G,1.1.
