    More Information
    Bound in a 19th century volume with Charles Hullmandel's lithographic 24 Views of Italy, 1818. E36A is one of the few extant impressions of this etching (along with E36 & E36B) to lack Boydell's publication line. This may indicate that, together with other prints in the series Twelve Original Views in Italy, it was first commissioned by Wilson with a view to publication himself, and only later passed or sold to Boydell when Wilson was hard pressed for cash.
    Condition/Conservation
    Some discoloured spotting
