NotesThe title page would suggest that most of the paintings were added and were not part of Hewer's collection. There is a section of paintings and several painting listed among the rooms of furniture. There is also an appendix at the end of the catalogue with additional lots that were supposed to have been added to each day of the sale. The appendix items appear to mainly be decorative items such as painted leather and fan mounts, gems, and other curiosities, though not all the descriptions are clear.
