Set of prints, soft ground etching, Sixty Small Prints,
with text, A Description of a Series of Sixty Small Prints,
by William Green, Ambleside, Westmorland, 1814.
The descriptive text was printed by John Tyler, Rathbone Place, London; the prints were drawn, engraved and printed by William Green. The volume has the title page, then 16 pages of letterpress descriptions of the plates, then the 60 plates. The text was originally designed to be a short guide to the area, but this idea was abandoned. The title page belongs to the descriptive text not to the set of prints itself. The prints are recorded separately. |
