Note 18 — Chapter III · (continued 2)

A notable instance occurs with regard to the design and arrangement and pose of the figure of Lord Howe (modelled by Coffee), the curious and interesting letters concerning which I possess. Another instance was with regard to a bust of Sir Richard Arkwright, for which, by “desire of Mr. Strutt,” Mr. Duesbury had a plaster cast taken from the face of Sir Richard, and had also Wright’s picture lent him by Mr. Strutt. Another instance occurred over a service made for the Duchess of Northumberland in 1795, a letter regarding which, in my own possession, says that the six comports are put into Wright’s hands.
