Description:
Title etched below image., Later state, with border added and Rowlandson's signature partially worn from plate., Identified in the Metopolitan Museum of Art online catalog (Object Number: 59.533.1685) as a plate from Rowlandson's "Views of Cornwall" series, dated 1812, despite not being listed in Grego as such (see: Grego, J. Rowlandson the caricaturist, v. 2, pages 239-246)., and Late-20th century restrike on modern paper, similar to others from the same collection bearing pencil annotations suggesting printing dates around 1980. The copper plate would have been in the possession of the successor Leadenhall Press in England at the time, according to Nicholas J.S. Knowles.
