This medallion is included in Raspe's Catalogue of 1791. I have never seen an example of it.

Inscribed in incised script characters, Tassie F. 1777. 3 in.

Young face to left; hair tied in loose queue behind; cravat and frill; figure nearly to waist; coat showing five buttonholes.

An original model in red wax, so inscribed, and titled in ink on the back of the frame, 'Robt. Harker Tassie F. 1776,' is in the collection of the Board of Manufactures, Edinburgh. I have never seen an example in the enamel paste of the Tassies.

No inscription or signature. 3 in.

Face to right; full-bottomed wig; cloak worn over plain, single-breasted, collarless coat, showing three buttons.

The medallion, of 'John Harrison,' Lot No. 22 of the Vernon Sale, is stated to be signed, and dated 1775.

No inscription or signature. 3 in.

To right; small eyes, with sharply raised eyebrows; two strong lines from nostril and end of lip; short whiskers; hair brushed from face; cravat; frilled shirt; vest with its lapel falling over lapel of the coat; no buttons shown.

I describe from the wax in the possession of Dr. J. Power Hicks. The medallion is included in William Tassie's List, but I have never seen any example in the enamel paste of the Tassies.

Probably the Mr. Henderson, modeller in London,' represented in the medallions in Raspe's Catalogue of 1791, Nos. 14,228-9, is the same person at a younger age.

Second son of John, 1st

'MAJOR HENNIKER LOCHEE F.' 3 in.

This medallion exists in the enamel paste of the Tassies, but is modelled by John Charles Lochée.

189. HERSCHEL,

SIR FREDERICK

Astronomer; b. 1738; d. 1822.

WILLIAM.

Signed W. TASSIE. F' and bearing, in relief, on field, to left, above his right shoulder, an 'H' with a small globe suspended from its cross bar, the sign of the planet Uranus, above which are seven stars. 2 in.

Face turned to right, the forehead seen in perspective.

This is the largest of the medallion portraits of the Tassies which I have found existing, in relief, not only in their enamel paste, but also in clear vitreous paste imitating rock-crystal. It is founded upon, and follows very closely, the drawing made, from life, at Windsor, in 1814, by Fr. Rehberg.

190. HERVIE, ROBERT. Portrait painter.

This medallion is included in Raspe's Catalogue of 1791, and in William Tassie's List. I have never seen an example of it.

191. HOME, GEORGE. Of Wedderburn and Paxton; Writer to the Signet; principal clerk of Session 1781-1808, his successor being (Sir) Walter Scott; d. 1820.

193. HOOD, SAMUEL, IST VISCOUNT. 1724; d. 1816.

No inscription; signed 'T.' 3§ in.

Admiral; b.

Dignified face, slightly raised to right; strong large features and full aquiline nose; wig with two rows of curls above ear, and queue looped up behind; cravat; shirt-frills; collarless coat, showing three buttons, and with strong folds running downwards and forwards from the back of the neck; fur-lined cloak round body.

This medallion has been erroneously regarded as representing John Howard, the philanthropist, and Lord Heathfield: but it also exists in Wedgwood paste, and on the mould at Etruria it is titled 'Lord Hood.'
