Note 590 — VI THE MASK (continued)

Reading edition

For the career of Jones, cf. D. N. B., Reyher, 75; R. Blomfield in Portfolio (1889), 88, 113, 126; and Renaissance Architecture in England, i. 97; H. P. Horne, An Essay on the Life of Inigo Jones, Architect in The Hobby Horse (1893), 22, 64; Cunningham, Inigo Jones (1848). Designs by Jones for the scenery, stage-machinery, and dresses of masks and other court entertainments are in Lansdowne MS. 1171, and in the collections of the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth and of the Royal Institute of British Architects. They are mostly of the Caroline rather than the Jacobean period. A few have been reproduced by Cunningham, Reyher, and Lawrence, ii. 97. P. Simpson (Sh. England, ii. 311) gives eight figures for the Mask of Queens.
