PRINTING

Four impressions are known. The '1st Proof' was printed in dark brown ink on ivory laid paper (Graphic with a link to impression #K3950102); what may have been the second proof was also printed in dark brown ink on off-white, almost grey, laid paper (Graphic with a link to impression #K3950104) and what may have been the third proof, since it is inscribed '(3.)' is like the first, in brown ink on ivory laid paper (Graphic with a link to impression #K3950103).
