Cinderilla laughed to herself when she saw her Slipper and the gentleman consenting to let her try it, it went on with ease and fitted exactly to the great astonishment and vexation of her sisters Both are Drawn & Engraved by Henry Richter, and Published February 1799 The engravings measure 28cm by 29cm approx.
