Notes on this view:

This illustration is an example of common characteristics of tinted lithographs. The image is composed of a line drawing (the black image) and is accentuated by a fawn-colored background tone. Looking closely at the print, it is possible to see highlights have been removed from the background tint, adding depth and details to the image through negative space. This was a common practice in the early 19th century that allowed lithographs to imitate drawings on tinted paper with highlights in gouache or white chalk.
