An almost identical binding, with some of the same tools and lettering (but dated '1703') is found on a musical manuscript of Lenton's compositions gifted to Queen Anne (see Sotheby's, Collection of Robert S. Pirie, 2 December 2015, lot 914). For another binding attributable to Robert Steel (fl. 1668-1711), with the same border design, see M.M. Foot, The Henry Davis Gift II, no. 148.The date on this binding reads '1763' and has seemingly been altered from '1703', possibly at the time the fine watercolours of moths and butterflies were executed.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
