Some of the lots specify Bird as the artist and others don't, so we have not assumed that he was the artist for the anonymous lots, except for the model for the protrait of Queen Anne, which was one of his most famous sculptures. Sale includes models, casts, prints, and drawings. We have only indexed the models; the drawings are untitled, so we have not indexed them.

Which will be sold by auction, by Mr. Langford, on Tuesday the 30th of April 1751, and the four following evenings.
