- See 1958,0712.1849, 1958,0712.1836-1837, 1958,0712.1839-1841, 1958,0712.1851, 1958,0712.1848 and 1958,0712.1845 for individual impressions of prints from this series.
The fourth print in the sequence of the album has a different publisher's address, 'à Montbrillant près Genève chez l'Auteur.' Therefore it was published at a later date when Linck had moved from Geneva to Montbrillant where he died in 1812; it is also the only one in the album that is printed on wove paper.
