Ten drawings of tombs in the church of Notre Dame at Bruges
Ten drawings of the tombs of Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy (d. 1477), and of his daughter Mary archduchess of Austria (d. 1482) in the church of Notre Dame at Bruges. These are pen-and-ink drawings by Bernard Frix (see his letter of Oct. 9, 1789, at fol. 1), made in 1789 for Richard Gough, who paid £3 13s. 6d. for them.
At fol. 13 is a pencil drawing by Mauperin of 'Le tombeau de Anne de Bourgogne', wife of John duke of Bedford (d. 1432).
