Notes:
John Nichols (1745-1826) was one of the most prominent London printers of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. As his business grew, he also became a respected editor, biographer, and antiquary. His most notable works include the Gentleman's Magazine, Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica, The Literary Anecdotes of the 18th Century, and a number of county histories, including the acclaimed History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester. A number of engravings in this final title were executed by Barak Longmate the younger (1768-1836), who was a longtime friend and assistant to Nichols. Longmate shared Nichols' interest in antiquarian subjects and specialized in the engraving of coats of arms.
