After the execution of the most of the Fresco Lunettes in the Octagon Room of the Garden-Pavilion, I was honoured by the gracious commands of Her Majesty and His Royal Higness Princess Albert to present designs for the completion and decoration of the three rooms of which the Summer-house consists; and I was also directed to procure the execution of these designs by the different artists whose names appear in the List printed at the end of Mrs. Jameson's Introduction. Since the completion of these works, her Majesty has been graciously pleased to direct that they should be engraved and published. L. Grüner. London, December, 1845.--Title page verso.
