This lot and the five following lots are illustrations published by Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Tischbein in Collection of Engravings from Ancient Vases, mostly of pure Greek workmanship, descovered in Sepulchres in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies during the course of the years 1789 and 1790, now in the possession of Sir Wm. Hamilton, which were puplished between 1791 and 1803: volume 1 in 1791, volumes 2 and 3 in 1795, and volume 4 in 1803. The collection of vases came to England in 1798 on the Colossus, but the ship went down at sea and the collection was lost. In recent years, however, it was discovered, and the collection is now in the British Museum in the process of being restored.
