Edition Notes
Early proof. Title and publication information are lightly etched; these were changed in the final version with an extended title and more elaborate calligraphy. Also of interest is the publication date of April 4, 1795, almost three years earlier than the final state. Typical of an early proof, the impression of this print is excellent, as is the condition of the paper. For first publication state, see 77.123.
