Curatorial RemarksNote
It appears that this print was cut from an edition of Pierre Munro Irving's "Life and Letters of Washington Irving."
This is the darker of the two indentical engravings in the HHV collection (see also SS.98.1 a-b); it is framed.
The Wilcox engraving is similar but different from the image of Matilda "from the miniature by Edward G. Malbone" in that her hair is much darker and her fichu is tied more like a kerchief in the Malbone version; the image lacks the delicacy of the Wilcox engravings; the orginal Malbone minature was owned by Mrs. George S. Bowdoin, of New York, in 1897; its current owner is unknown [Jessa J. Krick, 9/26/2017].Note Type
