Chambers Hall

In 1855, a few months before his death, Hall presented to the British Museum a group of 66 drawings by Thomas Girtin, and antiquities including bronzes. To the University of Oxford he gave at the same time the rest of his collections, including drawings by Raphael, a portrait of Mrs. Bradyll by Sir John Reynolds, a portrait of James Thornhill and sketches by William Hogarth, and a painting from Herculaneum. Other works in the gift included bronzes, and a portrait of himself by John Linnell.^[1]
