More Information
This is a list of Booth's own paintings by Wilson, with measurements. From internal evidence it was compiled after June 1790 and may date from about 1805. It comprises a four-page torn and part-repaired flattened folded foolscap folio with pen text on paper watermarked with Britannia (p. 1) and 'GR' (p. 2) but undated; last page blank. Some additions and annotations.
