The Coade List of 1799.



 This post is to act as an aide memoire and give mre easy access to the list.

I will add comments as I proceed with my Coade posts.

The Frontispiece - 

This reuses the plate designed by John Bacon I for the Coade Trade Card which seems to have first appeared in a version of the 1784 Catalogue.

see my post on the various iterations of this engraving -






















The Seasons by John Bacon

The Group of  Acis Galatea and Polyphemus.

For a fairly in deph essay see -

62. A bust of Sarah Siddons - no examples are known

64. A bust of  Richard Meade - presumably after Roubiliac- Terracotta in the BM Marble at the Royal College of Physicians - disappeared.

98. Bust of  John Wesley - evidently the subscription was successful and several have survived.

110. Bust of Pope - presumably after Roubiliac - as yet no example has appeared.

113. Statue of Paul Rubens - presumably after the originals by Rysbrack

These two statuettes were nos. 49 and 50 in the Catalogue of 1784
