That is: Henry Hake Seward (1777-1848), pupil and assistant May 1794 - September 1808; Henry Joseph Good (1775-1857), pupil January 1795-January 1799. Seven drawings (six on Imperial-sized sheets and one on double Elephant) were taken to Lord Poulett's house in Stratford Place, London on 26 May 1797.
