Sobre este artículo

Original account book of 150 pages, 22 lines each, on blue lined paper. Walpole lived at Strawberry Hill for about fifty years until his death in March 1797. The property was ultimately passed to his grand-niece Laura Elizabeth Waldegrave, and thereafter to her eldest son John Waldegrave and his wife Frances. In 1855 the Countess Waldegrave decided to restore Strawberry Hill and turn it into a palace for great political receptions. She invested about £20,000 a year; the account book details the monthly expenses paid out, such as workers' wages, their names and the amounts paid for the month.
(Offered with)

Manuscript book cataloguing approximately 7500 prints, books and drawings for a massive extraillustrated edition of Walpole's letters.
