Extent and format
1 portfolio, containing 39 sheets of drawings and photographs
Scope and content
The card portfolio is labelled 'PLATES'. A note at the front by Albert Hartshorne, 6 November 1909, records that the drawings were enlarged by him, full-size, from Solano's Iconografia Espanola, and exhibited at a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries in June 1907, to illustrate Hartshorne's paper on 'The gold chains, the pendants, the Paternosters, and the zones of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and later times'. Hartshorne's paper was published in Archaeological Journal LXVI (1909), 77-102, but without illustrations.
The contents are:
4 photographic prints mounted on card, from the Victoria and Albert Museum;
1 photogaphic print on paper, source unclear;
4 photographic prints of items in the collection of Sir Charles Robinson;
1 ink drawing on card, of head of a man, subject and origin unidentified;
29 drawings, ink and watercolour, of details 1126-1590 taken from Solano's book.
Although Hartshorne stated that he had exhibited his drawings at a meeting of SAL in June 1907, there is no reference to this in Proceedings. The paper in Archaeological Journal does not mention any meetings of the Royal Archaeological Institute or SAL. Presumably the portfolio was presented to SAL by Hartshorne.
