| Edition Notes: |
Published by Septimus Prowett. Campbell (pp.57 and 81) includes the two mezzotint versions of "The Creation of Light" (C.W. 41 and C.W. 65), the former being slightly larger (and the one in this collection). The dimensions of smaller image are: 13.7 x 19.9cm. The smaller mezzotint version varies little from its larger counterpart and is of equal quality. Martin repeated this subject for his mezzotint illustrations of the Bible (see Campbell pp. 120-24). [Research by Louisa Marks]. |
