A 1819 London catalogue by William Carey and Richard Colt Hoare, printed by J. Nichols and Son, describing the British paintings owned by Sir John Fleming Leicester, made for collectors and connoisseurs of British art. The single plate, printed sideways on the page, shows a gallery interior with paintings hung in tiers on a wall and a domed rotunda with coffered ceiling and round niches on the left, drawn in fine line engraving that suggests architectural interior references for a designer.
