 Alexander Wilson - Charles Lucien Bonaparte
The Bonaparte plates, Plates B1-B27, from the Philadelphia Edition are not etchings/engravings (as were the original plates in Bonaparte's supplement), but rather hand-colored stone lithographs.
Having viewed this set with great care, and having consulted with several collectors who own plates from this edition, we have determined that all the Bonaparte plates of this edition were printed with lithographic stones, and thus lack plate marks and the sharp lines typical of etchings/engravings.
The name of the lithographer is not noted on the prints; rather, the Bonaparte plates are reproduced with the original nomenclature intact, and therefore include engraving credits to Alexander Lawson.
