Extract

The curious panel-picture representing four gentlemen in the costume of the time of queen Elizabeth, and evidently persons of distinction, playing at cards, which I have the pleasure of exhibiting this evening by permission of Messrs. P. and D. Colnaghi, is not altogether new to the Society.

It was described little short of one hundred and three years ago by the Hon. Daines Barrington, in the Archaeologia, vol. viii. under the date May 4th, 1785.
