Aedes Walpolianae, or, A description of the collection of pictures at Houghton-Hall in Norfolk, the seat of the Right Honourable Sir Robert Walpole, Earl of Orford
A catalogue of the paintings hanging at Houghton Hall, the Norfolk seat of Sir Robert Walpole, written by his son Horace Walpole and printed in London in 1767 for collectors and connoisseurs. The plates mix engraved portraiture set in draped, sculptural cartouches with older woodcut headpieces and tailpieces: scrolling acanthus, flaming torches, winged putti, haloed figures with lyres, and a framed ornamental band with a plinth and pendant, all usable as rules, frames, and chapter openers.
