Burke, John. The Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Females: Including Beauties of the Courts of George IV and William IV. 2 vols., London: E. Bull/Bull and Churton, 1833.

British Library. 36 subj. vol. 1; 36 in vol. 2. Portraits by Sir T. Lawrence and others, including Mrs. J. Robertson and Miss E. Kendrick, engraved by Thomson, Dean, Cochrane and others. Burke's “memoirs” are skeletal genealogies or annals focused on males (cross-referenced among interrelated families). Wide individualist variety in the portraits. No discernible order. This collection corresponds with Jerrold, Blessington, and Jameson. "Gallery" is a literal and figurative premise for at least twenty collections in this bibliography.
