- See 1840,0808.213 for another impression; according to a note on the verso of that print it was engraved for 'The Bijou', 1830. Thought not to represent Ada, Countess of Lovelace by Betty O'Toole, author of 'The Letters of Lord Byron's Daughter Ada', and no painting of this sitter is listed by Garlick.
