FIRST EDITION AND A SCARCE AND ESPECIALLY HANDSOME COLLECTION OF ITALIAN VIEWS, WITH ENGRAVINGS BY FINDEN, HEATH AND OTHERS. The artists worked in pen, brush and sepia inks, creating originals so perfectly suited to the engravers art that one can only assume this is exactly what Miss Batty had in mind. She records here the journey she made with her father, a respected doctor and Fellow of the Linnean Society, throughout all of Italy in 1817. This was a 'golden age' for such tours as the defeat of Napoleon had just recently reopened the Continent to British travelers, and the welcome given to the British (and to their Sterling) was especially great. In spite of the undeniable quality of Miss Batty's work, this is the only book to feature any of her art, and is found only in this one edition. Her work made an impact in the world of porcelain and pottery, as Staffordshire potters Enoch Wood & Sons used several of these Italian Views on their blueware. Those popular dishes were exported to America, where they helped foster the Romantic ideal of Italian travel that is still so strongly followed by many today.
