Edition Notes
State II is designated by the subject's name, erased and reengraved without flourishes that surround original title in the first state. Probably a book illustration; evidence of marbling on edge. Bromley notes that is prefaced "Memoirs of Cromwell" 1740; however, Smith remarks that this print is seldom seen in that publication.
