Summary: This is a print of Henry Singleton's painting The Royal Academicians in General Assembly engraved by C. Bestland from the extra illustrated version of John Galt’s The Life, Studies, and Works of Benjamin West. The print is labeled volume 7, page 6.

The key to The Royal Academicians in General Assembly, labeling the members of the Royal Society of Arts, of which Benjamin West was the President, is also from the extra illustrated version of John Galt’s The Life, Studies, and Works of Benjamin West. This print is undated, but likely accompanied the C. Bestland's print of the painting from 1802.
