Description: Proposals for publishing by subscription, a correct engraving of the south view of All Saint's Church, Derby, dedicated, by permission, to his Grace the Duke of Devonshire from an architectural design, by John Wilkinson, architect, Derby.
This image is one of a collection by the famous local antiquarian, Thomas Bateman, of Middleton by Youlgreave. (1821-1861). Bateman organized his collection by inserting them into a 4 volume copy of Lysons Magna Britannia, Derbyshire, creating a fascinating and unique illustrated record of the county. The purchase of the collection for Derbyshire Libraries was made possible by the generous bequest of Miss Frances Webb of Whaley Bridge, well known local historian, who died in December 2006.
