As Adam lives in Britain, which makes it incredibly easy to acquire copyright in his works, he grants, if needed, an irrevokable license to use this work however you see fit. He requests attribution where possible, and realises that "where possible" means that that request is not legally enforcable. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Description

Portrait of Nancy Storace (1765-1817), English soprano. Printed in April 12, 1788 by Moltens Colnaghi & Co No. 32 Pall Mall, and in Paris by chez Tessari Zanna et Ce. Quay de Augustins No 42.


This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: There was a lot of staining to the paper, and one or two bits where either the hand-tinting hadn't been done very well, or water damage had occured. As the hand-tinting was generally done as a batch, and not by the artist who made the original engraving, I decided to try and make it look like the best possible copy of the mass-produced hand-tinted engraving..
