Historical Significance -- Joseph Strutt (1749-1802) occupies a unique space in British historiography as both an antiquarian and a skilled engraver. Before Strutt, history books were largely textual; Strutt believed that to understand the past, one had to visualize it. He spent his days in the British Museum sketching direct from illuminated manuscripts, making his workincluding this Chroniclesome of the earliest accurate visual records of English costume and habits. Sir Roy Strong later identified Strutt as the 'most important single figure in the investigation of the costume of the past' and a primary influence on the visual language of the Romantic and Pre-Raphaelite movements. This 1777 set represents the beginning of that legacy, shifting the focus of history from mere king-lists to a broader anthropological view of the Anglo-Saxon people.

Apologising for the delay in publication and typographical inaccuracies, the editor refers to 'the yet infant state of the press in India'. The list of subscribers includes the Madras Circulating Library.Boyd had a colourful career: a popular figure in London fashionable society, he numbered 'Edmund Burke, Catharine Macaulay, David Garrick, John Wilkes, and Joshua Reynolds among his wide circle of acquaintances' (ODNB). He married into money but having exhausted his wife's fortune was forced to join the East India Company in Madras, being captured by the French on his return from an unsuccessful diplomatic mission to Ceylon. Following his release, he devoted himself to journalism, running the Madras Courier and launching the Hircarrah. He gained fame after his death when it was claimed that he was Junius, the pseudonymous writer of letters to the Public Advertiser which were highly critical of the government.ESTC T135037; Shaw 284.

An influential history of England chronicling from the arrival of Julius Caesar to the end of the Saxon Heptarchy. The English art historian Sir Roy Strong called Joseph Struttengraver, artist, antiquary, and writerthe earliest and 'most important single figure in the investigation of the costume of the past,' describing him as 'an influential but totally neglected figure in the history of art in Britain' (Strong, p. 50). Joseph Strutt (17491802), engraver, antiquary, and historian, is best known for The Regal and Ecclesiastical Antiquities of England (1773) and Sports and Pastimes of the People of England (1801), works that profoundly shaped Romantic and Pre-Raphaelite visual culture.
