	Notes	Richard Golding (London, 1785 – Lambeth, 1865): Engraver. He engraved book illustrations for Don Quixote and Gil de Blas and completed the unfinished works of James Parker. Some of his better-known engravings are: Nelson’s death after M. West, Saint Ambrose prohibiting Theodosius to enter into the church, Princess Victoria at the age of nine after Westall and Henry Calvert (Benezit V, 93). "Las figuras del Cura, de la Sobrina, del Barbero y del Ama, componen un cuadro dulzón y doméstico, como una pintura de Greuze. La luz es melancólica, pero suave y penetrante. La estancia tiene intimidad. Y la ventana no da al seco patio manchego que le correspondería, sino a una verde, húmeda y frondosa campiña, de más allá del Canal de la Mancha" (GG 185).
