The drawings of v. 3 were not a part of Claude Lorrain's Liber veritatis
"These drawings were called the Liber veritatis, and were made for the purpose of identifying the real works of Claude from others said to be from his hand. These engravings are executed in imitation of the original drawings, and printed in a warm bistre colour ... They were at first produced only in outline... The demand was so extensive that Boydell caused Earlom to retouch and refresh the plates no less than five or six times..."--Dict. nat. biog., under Earlom. The drawings passed from Devonshire to the British Museum in 1957
