Lit: Rawlinson I 1908, no.207, engraver's proof (not listed); Hilary Beck, Victorian Engravings, exh. cat., Victoria and Albert Museum 1973, p.26
Engraver's proof of plate published singly in 1827. Original watercolour: private collection (Wilton 1979, no.495, repr. in col.; p.155). This state appears to be an early engraver's proof, probably the first to have been taken after the preliminary etching. It is still inscribed with the underline ‘Etched by E. Goodall’, which had been erased by the time Rawlinson's engraver's proof ‘a’ was printed. A very careful squared-up preparatory drawing in the British Museum (1891-4-14-71), presumably by Goodall, shows the care which was taken in making an accurate and faithful copy of the original. ‘Tivoli’ was privately published by Goodall in conjunction with John Allnutt, a patron of Turner who commissioned the plate, but it failed to find subscribers; Allnutt apparently lost £400 (Beck 1973).
