Lot Essay

Only the first and second states of this print are contemporary, all subsequent states posthumous. The first state, with the etched signature obscured, is known in one impression only. Early impressions of the present second state, such as the present one, are also very rare. This impression appears stronger, almost over-inked compared to the example in the British Museum.
