Footnotes
The 'Bagpiper' print is after a design by Jacopo Amiconi of Spring. This example appears to be a more unusual variation including classical ruins. For an impression of the print without ruins from a copper plate held at the Museum of Worcester Porcelain see Cyril Cook, The Life and Work of Robert Hancock (1948), item 8
