Notes:
Issued without title?Aquatints by Thomas Cartwright; after John Connop.Letterpress printed by Diggers, St. Ann's Lane, London."The first twelve plates all have dates of 1807, are all in colour, and are accompanied by a leaf of text. The venture struggled on until 1810, but the text disappeared, and all but two of the plates are left uncoloured. As the printing of these is in a grey suitable for colouring, and not sepia, declining support may account for the failure to keep the original standard."--Abbey.Date of publication from Abbey.Abbey, J.R. Scenery of Great Britain and Ireland in aquatint and lithography, 1770-1860, 366BAC: British Art Center copy is the Abbey copy.
