Worldcat says this was printed in [1825], likely based on the copyright date on the plates themselves. I'll eat my shoe if this set was printed in 1825. More likely, it appears to be a re-strike edition using plates dated 1825. The paper is wrong for 1825, the portfolio and font is wrong for 1825. I'd place this more in the 1890-1910 time frame myself, but will stick with 1825 for lack of any other indication, since this appears the norm.
