The series was published by T Hughes in 1821. There are known five volumes in this series, four plates in each volume. This means the series consists of at least 20 plates. The bound volumes of volumes 3-5 are kept in the Department of Prints and Drawings: volume 3 is 1949,1011.5.1-2 (bound broken, plates 9 and 11 missing); volume 4, 1887,0722.363.1-4; volume 5 1887,0722.364.1-4. The title page for the volume 3 is lettered: "No. 3 [number inscribed in black ink] / Price 1s. 6d. / Calvert's / new progressive / drawing-book, / containing four lithographic drawings, / in / landscape, views, &c. &c. / [four-line of English quotation which admires the series] / London: / published by T.

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
