Edition Notes
There are numerous areas where plate has been reworked with rocker and burnisher. Weak impression with several deposits of ink. The original plate was first struck without "Cum Privilegis Regis." A modern issue was listed in Boydell's catalog. It is possible considering the worn condition of this plate that this issue was modern and was struck after the plates were acquired by Boydell.
