Two impressions were sold from the collection of the late Joshua Hutchinson Hutchinson (ca 1829 - d.1891) at Sotheby's, 3 March 1892 (lot 154) bought by Frederick Keppel (1845-1912) of F. Keppel & Co. for £5.15.0 (Graphic with a link to impression #K1340103) and one by Edmund F. Deprez (1851-1915) of Deprez & Gutekunst for £7.0.0 (Graphic with a link to impression #K1340102). Keppel sold his to Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919) and Deprez's purchase went to Howard Mansfield (1849-1938) and years later to Lessing Julius Rosenwald (1891-1971) who gave it to the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC. Francis Seymour Haden, Sr (1818-1910) owned an impression that was sold through H. Wunderlich & Co. in 1898 and also bought by Freer (Graphic with a link to impression #K1340104). Freer bequeathed his impressions to the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington DC.
