Title: [A Landscape of Lisbon, Barcelona, Valencia, or Antwerp]
Period: 1800-1850;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: A landscape of a city from the direction of its port, where many fishing boats sail to and fro. The city is made of stone and of an old spanish architecture with a wall built in its midst, the city also appears to have been build on a mountain or a hill. In the background on the right there are more, taller mountains. The image is occasioned by the bachelor Sampson Carrasco saying "that I verily believe that there are at this very day above twelve thousand books published of that history ; witness Lisbon, Barcelona, and Valencia, where they have been printed, and there is a rumour that it is now printing at Antwerp. For my part, I foresee that no nation nor language will be without a translation of it."
