Edition Notes

Smith lists two states, the second being a modern version with hair and eyes retouched. The hair and eyes in this impression give no evidence of retouching, although the wove paper could not date before 1750's, it is suspected that this plate is a late eighteenth-century impression after plate was bought by Boydell.
