Description
Print (engraving) of Jacob Bobart, after D. Loggan, engraved by M. Burghers, published by W. Richardson, London, 1800. With oval portrait of Bobart. Inscription within carouche.
Loggan probably drew Bobart from life, and Burghers his pupil and successor as Engraver to Oxford University engraved it, though this is a later edition of the print.
