- Notes (object):
-
Fourth state of five.
The man's face is now dark, owing to printing; the lines of the awning over and to the right of his head have been rubbed down and are confused (H. Mansfield).
Very fine impression on thin 18th-century paper.
Signed artist's proof printed by the artist. Very rare.
