Printmaker identified as Edward Haistwell in the British Museum online catalogue, registration no.: 1931,0413.205.
Identification of printmaker is confirmed by a letter, pasted above print in album, from Richard Bull to Horace Walpole. In sending the print to Walpole, Bull mentions that it was "engrav'd by Mr. Haistwell, formerly a fellow commoner of C.C.C. College Cambridge [sic]".
Print signed with "CCCC", which probably stands for "Corpus Christi College, Cambridge", where Edward Haistwell was a fellow commoner.
