- Curator's comments
- Cropped part of a sheet (the upper margin) which originally depicted various etched sketches: a seated elderly woman with a hat, a corncrake (or king quail) bird, three ducklings paddling in water and two alphabet letters. IFF and Beraldi describe the original design as an etching. The register describes this wood-engraving as a 'woodcut copy of part of Bér 146'.
For another part of the sheet, see 1924,0112.116.
