Title:

BLORE DRAWINGS: architectural and topographical drawings by Edward Blore (1787-1879), architect and antiquary, unsigned and undated (with a very few exceptions), but in many cases made for, or used in, his father's (Thomas Blore's) History of Rutland, i, part ii, 1811; for Surtees's History and Antiquities of Durham, 1816-1840; for his own Monumental Remains of Noble and Eminent Persons, 1826; for Sir Walter Scott's The Provincial Antiquities and Picturesque Scenery of Scotland, 1826; and for other similar publications. Some of the drawings have notes or measurements in Blore's hand. The original arrangement and numbering of the volumes have been preserved in the following list. Two volumes (XVII and XXXII) were missing when the collection came to the British Museum, but vol. XXXII has since come to light and is now in the library of the Royal Institute of British Architects (see Friends of the National Libraries, Annual Report, 1939-1940, pp. 18-19); the same institution also possesses the accounts and working drawings for Blore's building (1839-1848) of Worsley Hall, co. Lanc., for Lord Francis Egerton [1st Earl of Ellesmere 1846], and some of his designs for the same, thus supplementing those in Add. MSS. 42027-42029 below. Blore's working drawings of Thicket Priory (1844-1861) (of which his designs are in this collection, v. Index sub Wheldrake) are in Add. MS. 47610. Of the three specimens of Blore's work in the Department of Prints and Drawings, two are related to drawings included in this collection, viz. a drawing of the chancel arch of Tickencote Church, co. Rutl. (1877-5-12-195) (cf. Add. MSS. 42016, ff. 58-61, and 42043, f. 87), and a water-colour drawing of Fotheringhay Church, co. Northt., 1806 (1909-4-6-34) (of which the preliminary pencil sketch is in Add. MS. 42002, f. 78). The present collection is referred to in the Dict. Nat. Biogr., v, 1886, p. 238. Each volume is preceded by a list of contents, and contains Blore's armorial bookplate. The drawings are indexed under the places to which they relate. See Brit. Mus. Quart., iv, 1929-1930, pp. 114-115 and pl. lxiv. Forty-eight volumes. Paper. Large folio (except where othewise stated). XIX cent. Presented by Mrs C. E. Keyser and C. N. Keyser, Esq., widow and son respectively of C. E. Keyser, Esq., grandson of Edward Blore.
