These then formed the basis of the lithographs drawn and printed by Louis Haghe. It is interesting to note that in some instances Roberts’ original drawings were twice or three times the size of the published print, which indicated the skill of Haghe and his assistants in transferring Roberts’ designs onto lithographic stones.
