“He brought me Retsch's Illust. of Hamlet spoiled in copying I presume for they were the weakest burlesque—and one could not trace any talent in the designs either.”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. I. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1983.

Hudspeth identified Moritz Retzsch (1779–1857) as a German painter whose illustrated gallery was published in London and Leipzig in 1828.
