The lithographs were originally issued in 6 Parts over a period from October 1821 until c.1823. Each Part comprised 5 prints hand stitched into a printed paper wrapper. This print was included in Part 1 which was published in October 1821. Two versions of this view are recorded. The other version is dated 1821 in the artist inscription and minor changes appear in the detail of the composition at both left and right sides
