Panoramic View of Corfu / drawn by Major McNiven ; engraved by Robert Havell

This is a scarce panoramic view of Corfu, not listed in Abbey's collection of panoramas. The quality of the engraving and coloring is high as would be expected from Havell. (Bobins)

The 5 plates combine to form a panoramic view of Corfu.
