A volume of etchings by three daughters of art collector John Ingram 1767-1841) of Staindrop Hall in County Durham: Elizabeth Christian Ingram (born 1795), Caroline Ingram (1800-1819), and Augusta Isabella Ingram (born 1802). The family lived in Venice and took instruction from Venetian etcher Francesco Novelli whose own etchings were in manner of Rembrandt and whose influence can be seen in the sisters' etchings. The style of the various impressions is very similar and were apparently made within a fairly short period if the dated prints are an accurate indication; some of the prints bound in first are dated February 1816 and then March 1816. This dating seems to be confirmed by a contemporary inscription on the front free endpaper: "These are the works of the Miss Ingrams' from their first lesson, 18..." Only five of the prints are unsigned; several prints in multiple impressions or two or more states, using brown and black inks and various stocks of paper, a few bearing a British watermark and date of 1814. Some of the prints have been mounted, but most have been printed directly on contiguous leaves forming the signatures of the volume
