Hand coloured aquatint published in A Topographical Survey of the Great Road from London to Bath and Bristol...by Archibald Robertson. London, William Faden, 1792.
The aquatint engravings published in this work are all unsigned, but were almost certainly by the author of the work, Archibald Robertson (fl.1777-1796) who was a print-seller and drawing master trading from Saville Row and, from 1782, Charles Street St. James's Square. Robertson is known as a landscape painter and for his aquatints, his first aquatints were jointly published with well known watercolourist, Paul Sandby (c1731-1809). 

Some marking to paper edges including a few small marks in the sky otherwise a good example of an uncommon aquatint in fine hand colour.
