⁂ "The plates which I have etched from my own drawings do not pretend to the character of finished engravings, I nevertheless flatter myself that the manner in which they are executed will not be thought wholly inadequate to the subjects. These etchings are sometimes assisted by the roulette." Samuel Lysons.
