Edition Notes
The evidence of ruling extending beyond the image at top, upper left and right sides, as well as in the marginal areas indicates this is an early proof after the working of the plate was completed. Usually these faint lines disappear shortly after the plate is put into production. Gray tone from plate being poorly wiped before printing.
