CLARK, J. (engraver) Myriorama, second series. Italian Scenery. London: Samuel Leigh, [1824 or later].
24 hand-coloured aquatints after Clark, each numbered in manuscript and mounted on a thin strip of card (203 x 70mm), the cards contained in original cardboard box (225 x 164mm) with two divisions; the box lined with pink paper, with hand-coloured aquatint title label to outside lid and engraved dedication to the King in smaller format within. (Title label soiled, some wear to edges of lid, one card affected by pink crayon stroke, light spots to a few others, [?] lacking rule book.)
When placed together the cards form a single panorama of the Italian coastline with a multiplicity of scene and incident. The first series, containing 16 rather than 24 cards, was dated 1824 and published by Samuel Leigh under the title Myriorama, a collection of many thousand landscapes, designed by Mr. Clark. The 24 cards in this second series show classical arches, groups of villagers by waterfalls or beneath trees, dramatic crags and bridges, distant castles, churches and harbours, and even a smouldering volcano. In whatever order the cards are placed, the panorama is unbroken and the permutations seemingly endless.
