Early progress proofs are dated 1829; the plate is not mentioned in correspondence until 1830; first published in 1832 in the fifth number of the first edition of the series; reappeared in the fifth number of the second.
According to Barnard, Shirley's first state does not exist and is a 'confused re-entry of a late trial proof'.
Facing page 114 of an extra illustrated copy of Charles Robert Leslie's 'Memoirs of the life of John Constable, Esq. R. A.' (London: James Carpenter, 1843), not on the list of plates hence an extra illustration.
