This attractive mezzotint was done by J.M. Will of Augsburg after a French engraving by Carl
Guttenberg. Though the Guttenberg engraving appears regularly, this version appears to be
unrecorded. This example has no imprint line, so it’s difficult to know for sure. See Cresswell
133 for the source print.
