Series I: English Work
Scope and Contents note
Series I. English Work is made up of nine engravings Hill completed in England between ca. 1799 and 1812. Hill completed the aquatinting process on these prints, and probably some of the coloring, but did not line engrave them. Most of the prints in this series are colored bookplates. "Troops" is a plate from W. H. Pyne's Microcosm(1803-08), one of Hill's most important London engraving commissions. All but one are views of military costumes, engagements, or personnel.
