$a Most plates are signed as drawn by W. Brockedon and engraved by Edward Finden, Robt. Brandard, J.C. Varrall, C. Westwood, Jas. Redaway, J.T. Willmore, Thos. Jeavons, W. Wallis, S. Rawle, J. Kernot or J. Cousen. The maps are signed as drawn by W. Brockedon and engraved by A. Arrowsmith or L. Arrowsmith - except that the last map is captioned as drawn and engraved by L. Arrowsmith. Most plates are blind-stamped 'Passes Of The Alps WB'. The maps and one plate carry the publisher's imprint of Rodwell for the Proprietor. In the Royal Academy's copy each steel-engraved plate is preceded by a printing of the same plate in an early etched state. Several of these carry the name of the etcher (the same names as the engravers). Where both the etching and the steel-engraving are signed the signatures are usually the same, but in one case the etching is signed by J. Smith and its engraving by E. Finden. The printer is named on the title-page versos and in the colophon of Vol. II: 'London: J. Moyes, Took's Court, Chancery Lane.' The work is dedicated by William Brockedon to the Venerable Robert Hurrell Froude. |

$a In the imprint of Vol. II the author's address is changed from '11, Caroline Street, Bedford Square' to '29, Devonshire Street'. Some plates carry dates - of 1827 or 1828 in Volume I, and of 1828 or 1829 in Volume II. The plates show views of the various routes through or round the Alps. Each volume has six sets of nine plates, the first plate in each set forming a divisional title-plate and the last a map of one of the routes. In Volume II the last set has ten plates, the additional plate being a map of the whole area of the Alps. The plates are steel-engravings, apart from the maps, which are copper-plates. In the Royal Academy's copy each plate (apart from the maps) is printed twice - firstly in its early, etched form, and secondly as a finished engraving. In one case a figure which appears prominently in the etching has disappeared from the engraving (Vol. II, set 2, pl. 1, divisional t.pl., Scene from the top of the Aar Fall). The Academy's is a large-paper copy. |
