The bookshop of Lackington, Allen and Company, which traded in Finsbury Square. The premises boasted a frontage 140 feet long and the shop is believed to have sold around 100,000 copies each year during the 1790s. Image courtesy of the British Library.
Thanks – a useful list. I have always found the staff at the Lewis Walpole Library a delight to deal with – eg if you need tiffs for use in book publications etc. The Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art has an excellent and searchable index of images available for you to use. The Rijksmuseum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are also good, although searching is not as easy.
