Critical commentary
From a set of small soft-ground etchings by Whessell after Wilson's drawings in the sketchbook at the Victoria & Albert Museum (D53-D53/81). The present one is taken from p. 23 (D53/52). In 1811 the etchings were published by the Oxford-based publisher, Robert Archer in more than one format.
