PUBLICATION
An impression was printed possibly with the intention of publishing it with a set of cancelled etchings (
). However, it was not included in the album of the 'Cancelled Set' as published by the Fine Art Society, London, in 1879.

SALES & COLLECTORS
The only known impression was originally owned by Mortimer Luddington Menpes (1860-1938) (
). He may have bought it directly from the artist when he was helping print the Venetian etchings in the early 1880s. It was bought by Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919) in 1903.
