XXVII. An Account of some ancient English Historical Paintings at Cowdry, in Sussex. By Sir Joseph Ayloffe. Bart. V.P.A.S. and F.R.S.

Abstract

In a Memoir which I formerly laid before the Society, touching the royal picture of the interview between King Henry VIII. and the French King Francis the First, I took notice of the advantages which might result to the historian and antiquary from a careful inspection of such remaining historic paintings and sculptures, as, being executed with accuracy and fidelity, are coaeval with the transactions they are intended to record.
