Edition Notes
Smith (p. 1153) lists State I as being without any inscription. This impression has the artist's and engraver's names engraved on the plate, thus making it an impression from an interim state before title was added. Russell (p.266) lists the impression with artist's and engraver's names only as State II. Strong impression.
