From: Amédée Pichot, Voyage
historique et littéraire en Angleterre et en Écosse, T. III
(Paris: Ladvocat et Charles Gosselin, 1825) (facing p. 244)
West's engraving strongly resembles an earlier
uncredited print published in A Cabinet of Portraits (London:
William
Darton, 1822). The French publishers state that the engraving
is made after the 1820
bust of Scott by Sir
Francis Leggatt Chantrey,
but the original model is clearly the earlier portrait by Thomas
Phillips.
