- Curator's comments
- 'Illustrations of the passes of the Alps, by which Italy communicates with France, Switzerland and Germany' (London: W. Brockedon, 1828~) is likely the title of the book to which these prints were made. The first volume is from 1828, and some of the prints in this volume are dated 1829, so these are likelt for a later volume.
