Notes:
Paul Sandby (1731-1809) was an English map-maker turned landscape painter in watercolours, who, along with his older brother Thomas, became one of the founding members of the Royal Academy in 1768. He also etched a large number of plates after his own drawings, a hundred of which (including views of Edinburgh) were published in a volume in 1765. This 1750 etching of a scene near Edinburgh resembles Du Simitière's description.
