Lithograph printed by Graf & Sons, showing the vase on an inscribed plinth, figures and dog, the vase flanked by large plants.
The Warwick Vase was found by Gavin Hamilton at Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli. He sold it to Sir William Hamilton who had it repaired and hoped the British Museum would purchase it. When they declined it, he sent to his nephew George Grenville, 2nd Earl of Warwick, at Warwick Castle, who built a special greenhouse for it, designed by local architect, William Eboral. It is now in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow. The British Museum impression of this print has had the imprint removed.
