The old record connects it with the print that illustrated the geological works of John MacCulloch (1773-1835), engraved by George Cooke, of which this drawing would be the intermediary original. There is no note on the sheet to confirm it, so it is given here only as a hypothesis.
Medium: Pencil drawing on paper.
Artist: Signed Louisa Smith.
Date: May 1822.
Dimensions: 10 x 8.5 in (25.5 x 21.5 cm).
