Date: 1829
Format: Sketches from an 1828-29 trip to Italy
Description: De la Beche is making fun of tourists in the Vatican, though exactly how is unclear to me. The man getting his lips painted looks somewhat like he might be De la Beche.
Taking a Cameo-Portrait and two cartoons on religion are from the same trip.
