Andrew Brice (previously thought to be)

When this portrait was presented to RAMM it was thought to represent Andrew Brice, the celebrated printer. However, Andrew Brice, the Exeter printer, lived from 1692 to 1773 and this portrait, which shows the sitter with his right arm over a distinctly Regency chair, is securely dated 1827. Comparison between the RAMM drawing and the contemporary engravings of Brice in the collection of the West Country Studies Library shows there is no connection.
