- For two further impressions, both bound in the volume 'Sonnets et Eaux-Fortes' in the Department of Prints and Drawings (1870,0514.897 to 993), see 1870,0514.910 and 911.
Dézé gives a date of 1868 to 'Sonnets et Eaux-Fortes' (see p. 72) although the date of 1869 is on the titlepage in the Prints and Drawings volume referred to above. Beraldi and Dézé record that 'Lion couché' was published in 'Sonnets et Eaux-Fortes', 1879 (one assumes an editorial error).
