| Notes: “The impression is an early engravers' proof on india paper. It has had a hard life. A long time ago, it was crudely trimmed inside the plate mark, then glued (looks like bone glue) to a card support. Then stuck to a back board. Dirt and brown stains at the back of this board show that it was framed in front of oily wood panels. It was subsequently further trimmed along the bottom edge to put into the recent frame in which it arrived. I doubt that it would withstand freeing from its supports or restoration, but is currently stable.” | |||
