A Witch Sailing In A Seive To Aleppo

A Witch Sailing In A Sieve To Aleppo. The Exceptionally Rare Mezzotint Engraving By Charles Turner After JJ Halls. Proof Impression before titles Published 1 December 1807.

"The Witch Sailing To Mecca" appears to be the lettering on the British Museum impression; but if this is the scene described in Macbeth (Act I, scene 3) the witch should be sailing to Aleppo. Both cities are inland.
