'THE SET OF FOUR IS NOW VERY RARE'
‘Parkyns visited Halifax in 1800, and made a series of four drawings in water-colour, which were published as coloured aquatints in London the following year. … The set of four is now very rare. The original drawings of these four prints are in the McCord Museum, McGill University, Montreal.’ (Spendlove, p.31)
