Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ryland: A Comedy The most remarkable of these cases... is that of Ryland the engraver, who in 1783 forged a bill for £7,114 on the East India House,... described as the most extraordinary piece of deceptive art ever produced... Ryland was convicted, chiefly through the evidence of a paper manufacturer, and sentenced to death; but a respite was granted that he might finish, for the benefit of his family, a fine engraving he had just begun - the last of a series from the pictures of Angelica Kauffman."
