- Curator's comments
- Slight differences in the hair and nose suggest that this is a later state, or a different plate.
See also the versions in the same direction by James Watson (CS 24 and 25). There are also two reduced versions, the first of which probably relates to one of the Watson plates (2010,7081.1517, 1518).
