Almost certainly part of the group of '186 various prints' at the global price of £59 4s which had been 'selected from Dr Wellesley's sale' (ie the sale of Henry Wellesley's Italian prints on 29 June 1858 and 2 June 1860). This would cover all the Italian acquisitions in the range 1862,0712.439 to 607.
