Notes

The series of 'Twenty Four View of Italy' was published in two volumes in 1818, seemingly in several editions. Abbey Travel 167 lists an edition printed by Moser and Harris.

This print is from another edition printed by Gold & Walton. A complete bound second volume (hence twelve prints in total), now loose, kept in the Prints and Drawing Department (1956,1014.35.1-12). The plate numbers appear different from Moser and Harris's edition listed in Abbey.

The title-page and the back cover are also kept with the volume. The former reads: "Twenty Four / Views of Italy, / drawn from nature, / and engraved upon stone. / by C. Hullmandel. / Published by C. Hullamndel, / 51, Great Marlborough Street. / Price thirty shillings. / Gold & Walton, Printers, 24, Wardour St. / To be / published in two numbers, / number 2 / price fifteen shillings."

There is another incomplete volume of the series in the Department, 1878,0511.481-97 (489 is yet to be catalogued), seventeen plates out of twenty four, of which edition is unknown.

It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
