George Perfect Harding

This was followed in 1825 by Ancient Oil Paintings and Sepulchral Brasses in the Abbey Church of St. Peter, Westminster, with descriptions by Thomas Moule.

Among other historical works to which he supplied the plates was John Heneage Jesse's Memoirs of the Court of England during the Reign of the Stuarts, 1840.

He gave much time to the preparation of a manuscript account of the Princes of Wales, illustrated with portraits and heraldic devices.

Harding carried on the work on his own account, and during the next five years issued a series of fifteen plates, engraved by Joseph Brown and William Greatbach, with biographical notices by Moule.

The copperplates of these afterwards passed into the hands of John Russell Smith of Soho Square, who reissued the work in 1869.
