- Curator's comments
- This impression was published with Francis West's Collection of Views in c.1840. All of the plates in this series were those engraved for John Bowles in the mid-eighteenth century, and reissued by his successors over the years, and so by the time the plates were published by West they had deteriorated somewhat.
