Catalogue Note
This design, surmounted by the coat of arms of the Portuguese Royal House of Braganza, may be compared with another drawing by Elliger, sold London, Sotheby's, 3 April 1978, lot 161. The latter, also drawn for a frontispiece, appears to belong to the same series, although it depicts motifs and allegorical figures relating to Great Britain.
