His Etchings have all the richness and vigour of the best artists of the old School, and are highly prized by all who are capable of appreciating them.” “ The plates, etched and drawn by Mr. Cotman, are recommended by a high degree of merit and interest ; most of the subjects which this indefatigable artist has chosen are hitherto inedited monuments. Mr. Cotman’s style of engraving is well adapted for architecture, and unites pic turesque effect with fidelity of delineation,’”— Quarterly Review, 4 | t Q
