Note 68 — A CHAPTER ON English Engraving. By WILLIAM WALKER.
Robert Alan Mowbray Stevenson translation
The plate of Salisbury Cathedral was engraved at Constable's expense and published in 1837 by Messrs. Hodgson, Graves and Co., for the painter. After his sudden death in the same year it was sold at Foster's, Pall Mall, in 1838, and bought in for eighty guineas, hardly the price of two proofs at the present time.
Through the kindness of Mr. Algernon Graves, the writer has had access to many manuscript notes written by David Lucas.
