- Curator's comments
- Andres lists the plate as re-published in 'The Gallery of Engravings' 1844-46 (Cat. No. 1107) and later in 'The World as it is' (c.1849-1853), both after Higham's death, but does not appear to include the original publication in which it appeared. A view of the Alcazar engraved by J.C. Armytage after Roberts is included in Jenning's Landscape Annual for 1836 (See Cat. No. 888).
