Message:: [QUOTE="architrave, post: 9513323, member: 3723"]Actually you're probably not too far out on the dates. I've had a chance to check up in a couple  of books and it turns out to be a bit more complicated than I assumed. The "Cologne" was engraved by A Willmore as part of the "Turner Gallery", a series of prints issued in 1859-61, but reissued after in expanded editions, up to around 1890. There are two engravings of Turner's "St Michaels Mount", one by WB Cooke for "Picturesque Views on the Southern Coast of England" (1814) and one by J. Cousen  for the "Turner Gallery". I can't make out which one you have. The engraving of Folkestone by Robert Wallis was first published in 1826 for  "Picturesque Views on the Southern Coast of England", but may well have been one of the earlier plates reissued as part of the expanded reprints of the "Turner Gallery".[/QUOTE]
