- Curator's comments
- The publication line in this impression is the same as that described by Goodwin and Chaloner Smith for state I, but differs in that it does not have artists' names or title; it is probable that it is from an earlier state, since below the engraved label 'Heloi', there is a faint trace of a second, identical label scratched in.
