Title
View of Edinburgh [graphic]
Created/published
[18--?]
Description
1 item in 1 v. : sepia wash.
Associated name
Material base
paper
Note
Artist: Style of drawing is similar to a work found on another page of the same volume which has been attributed to William Harvey. Harvey may well have done this work as well.
History: Drawing was engraved and a copy of the engraving is bound in the same volume. There is no date, designer or sculptor noted on the engraving. It may have been used as a plate for Knight's Land we live in, published in 1818?
Provenance: Item has been added to a volume which is described by a bookseller's catalog entry glued to the book's flyleaf as "Knight's Land we live in : the chapters on Stratford-on-Avon, Windsor, with Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor, and Edinburgh ... used by Charles Knight when visiting the respective places, and bought at his death by Charles Dickens, whose library label it contains." This information is doubtful since Dickens died three years before Knight. The book does however bear the bookplate of Dickens' Library, dated 1870. Bought by the Folgers July 1904, of Pearson.
This record contains unverified data from old cards and may contain incorrect or incomplete text. Please consult Curator for assistance.
View looking down, possibly from Calton Hill. Unsigned.
