- Curator's comments
- David Alexander describes the series of engravings as comprising three plates by Pranker and three by Rennoldson, however he does not appear to have seen the series (no collection is listed) and this information is not included in Sayer & Bennett's 1775 catalogue. Comparison with two other plates certainly suggests that this belongs to the six (see 1866,0407.292 and particularly 1866,0407.296)
