- Acquisition notes
- With Philipe's blindstamp but no initials, and with the 1870s Cracherode stamp. The poor quality and nature of the print (a single sheet from a series of a type of print that Carcherode never collected) makes this impossible, and Sloane is far more likely (other prints placed near this in F,1 are certainly Sloane's).
