- Notes:
- "A series of intensely expressive fragmentary sketches freely interpreted (or as Francia says "imitated") in a richly varied medium ... Besides the artists whose names appear on the title page, Francia's collection includes imitations after David Cox, R.K. Porter and Samuel Prout. All the subjects are presented as freely handled sketches in which drawn and hatched line, liquid washes and chiaroscuro effects are allowed fully expressive range."--Pointon.
Most plates are unsigned and without captions. Apparently issued with varying numbers of plates.
Later issue in 1820. Published by H. Berthold under title: Studies of landscapes. 58 soft-ground etchings and 1 aquatint.
