[Printed advertisement.] Proposals for Publishing, by Subscription, A Portrait of the late Lord Byron, Painted in Italy, by Mr. West, and to be engraved on steel, by C. Turner, Mezzotint Engraver in Ordinary to His Majesty.

1p., 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged and creased, with damage to two corners from removal from mount. Attractively printed in a restrained style, it gives the prices of proofs and prints, and boasts that 'The Picture, from which it is intended to take the present Engraving, has the reputation of being a STRIKING LIKENESS of the Poet, as he appeared in 1822, and is the last of any note or which he sat. It was moreover the favourite picture of his Lordship, as may be seen by the accompanying Fac-simile [not present] of one of his Lordship's Letters to Mr. West.' The engraving will be published 'with his (the Painter's) sanction of its fidelity, in token of its being the only one possessing such a title'. The engraving was published by Colnaghi on 5 November 1826.
