Edition Notes
Extensive retouching using roulette indicates an effort to bring up the outline and detail of a worn plate. Faded impression due to condition of plate. Because of the roulette reworking and general weak impression of this print, it is probably a modern restrike by John and Josiah Boydell as this issue was listed in Boydell catalogue.
