and several other Eighteenth Century engravings of Pope busts.
It shows a bust which is so close to the Garrick / Shipley that is unlikely to be any other - the bottom of the bust is truncated and the inscription giving his age as LIII matches that on the Garrick bust. The Barber Type busts are longer in the body and show the chemise drawn together at its base.
Scan from Wimsatt. Showing another bust of a similar type dated 1748.

These three engravings show a bust of Pope with a distinct forward lean - very similar to the plaster bust at Stourhead.
Unmounted fan-leaf, with a bust of Alexander Pope on a pedestal, attended by three muses, one of whom holds a laurel wreath towards the bust. The scene is similar to Schreiber 13 unmounted, but larger and with fewer musical attributes. Stipple engraving.
