the leaves! Tantallon Castle, engraved by E. Goodall, Roslin Castle by W. R. Smith, or Linlithgow Palace by R. Wallace, for half a crown, are among the gems of this volume.
The great series of "England and Wales" was published in parts between the years 1827 and 1838. They were issued in three states, engraver's proofs, proofs before letters, and lettered proofs, all on India paper, and lettered proofs and print impressions both on plain paper. Turner's care of his reputation was so great that he bought for £3,000 the copper plates of this series to prevent bad impressions being made of his plates. Engraver's proofs of these sell for a guinea each and some of the rarer plates for three guineas. There is a long list of engravers who helped to spread the name and fame of Turner, till his work and theirs became of European renown. E. Goodall, with his plate of Alborough, W. Miller with Carew Castle and Windsor Castle, S. Fisher with Coventry, Crickieth Castle, Dudley, and St. Michael's Mount, R. Brandard with Lancaster Sands, J. T. Willmore with Llanthony Abbey, Llangollen, Penmaen Mawr, Powys Castle, and Richmond Terrace, W. R. Smith with the Chain Bridge over the Tees, Harlech Castle, Leicester Abbey, and Lowestoft, W. Radclyffe with Salisbury, and Carnarvon Castle, and T. Higham with Ely Cathedral. But this does not exhaust the list of engravers, nor enumerate the list of the fine plates (ninety-six in number); there is the work of T Jeavons, R. Wallis, J. Redway, J. Horsburgh, C. Westwood, W. Tombleson, J. C. Varrall, J. H. Kernot, J. Henshall, and others.
