London, 1845

The sheet of paper measures 8" x 10 1/4,", with the actual dimensions of the landscape engraving being 5" x 7 1/2."

There is nothing printed on the reverse. The engraving is in great condition: a fine sharp image.

NOTE: Identical examples of this work are in the collections of the Yale Center for British Art,

and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.

This was purchased by me about thirty years ago, probably at Brimfield.

My family has been in the antiques and design business since 1955!
