- A catalogue of all those select, beautiful, and uncommonly high-finished pictures, copied from the celebrated originals which composed the Electoral Gallery of Dusseldorf, which by the gracious permission of His Serene Highness the Elector Palatine, were copied for the purpose of being engraved, in consequence of an exclusive privilege granted for that purpose to Messrs. V. and R. Green : the above-mentioned pictures are most accurately copied from the inestimable originals, several of which were unfortunately destroyed, and much damaged in their removal from Dusseldorf, during the bombardment of that city, when the building which contained them was totally burnt : many of the pictures are of the exact size of the originals, and most of the principal subjects in that collection are included : to which will be added, some scarce and valuable drawings and prints framed and glazed, from the above collection, and some proof impressions of modern engravings, the property of Messrs. Greens : which will be sold by auction by Mr. Christie, at his Great Room in Pall Mall, on Saturday, May the 16th, 1795, at twelve o'clock
