_Initials._--H. B. (Henry Blundell).
[_Engravings and etchings of the Principal Statues, etc., in the
collection of Henry Blundell, Esq., at Nice._ 1809.]
Henry Blundell (born 1723, died 1810), of Nice-Blundell in
Lancashire, was the son of Robert Blundell of Nice. He was
a noted collector of works of art and an antiquary of some
repute. His contributions to literature are accounts of his own
collections, and are illustrated with fine engravings.
Blundell was a friend of the antiquary and collector Charles
Towneley of Towneley Hall, also in Lancashire, and it is
probable that his archæological tastes were largely fostered by
this friendship. Towneley certainly suggested the production of
Blundell's catalogues.
