Another set of drawings of the Venetian islands, formerly part of an album by Giacomo Guardi constituting a complete panorama of Venice, was in the collection of Paul Wallraf (A. Morassi, Disegni Veneti del Settecento nella collezione Paul Wallraf, exhib. cat., Venice, Fondazione Giorgio Cini, 1959, nos. 25-40). The compositions of several of the Wallraf drawings correspond to those of the present sheets.
Small paintings by Giacomo of the third and fifth compositions were formerly in a private collection in Crema.
