In this paper, I establish the chronology of the longest journey of Jonathan Richardson, the eldest son and collaborator of the English painter and art theorist of the same name, and I examine his itinerary in view of travel restrictions caused by the outbreak of the plague in Southern France in 1720.

In Paris in 1737, the public sale of the countess of Verrue's art collection was documented in manuscript form. That document survives today only in twelve handwritten copies and a 19th century publication. In this work, I examine their properties, establish their interrelationships and sketch their common genealogy.
