SALES & COLLECTORS
Charles Lang Freer (1856-1919) bought an impression from F. Keppel & Co. in 1902 (), which was bequeathed to the Freer Gallery of Art; and Harry Brisbane Dick (1855-1916) bought one, which passed after his death to the Metropolitan Museum of Art ().
Although about 1890 the artist noted that he had only one in stock, two impressions came with his estate to the University of Glasgow (, ).
