Tambien esto / So is this (Disasters of War, plate 43, Harris 163, Delteil 162). Original etching, burnished aquatint, and burnisher, c. 1808-1814. The clergy are running; their flock sits patiently and fearfully, perhaps waiting for be sheared. After the first edition, the plates were probably steel-faced and consequently do not degrade as quickly as they otherwise might. Total of 7 editions printed in the early 1900's.
