Leaf from Aedes Walpolinae mounted with a hand-written sheet, two prints and a printed sheet with drawn additions: (a): Sermon on Painting, continued; (b): St. Peter's Church at Walpole; (c): Chateau de Picton; (d): Monument of Eudo de Arsie; (e) Printed text describing Monument of Eudo de Arsie 1742

This leaf from Horace Walpole's *Aedes Walpolinae* (1742) contains several hand-written notes and prints, including a sketch of St. Peter's Church at Walpole, a view of Château de Picton, and a drawing of the Monument of Eudo de Arsie. Walpole's *Aedes Walpolinae* was a collection of his personal writings and drawings, which he created to document his travels, and his interest in architecture and history. This unique assemblage of text and images is an example of Walpole's approach to collecting, and his interest in both the physical and the written aspects of his world.
