STATE
Two states are known before cancellation.
State 1
There is no signature or inscription.
The composition is complete.
State 2
Signed with a butterfly at lower right.
The faint butterfly signature is difficult to see; it is 64mm from the right and 21mm from the bottom, and it is present on the copper plate (see Copper Plate, below). 7
7: Kennedy 1910 (cat. no. 371).
The butterfly is so faint that it is possible that there is only one state, and that 'State 2' impressions, as described here, are actually early impressions of the only state, while 'State 1' as defined above, represents late impressions of the only state, with the butterfly printing so faintly that it does not show.
State 2 (cancelled)
Cancelled with one diagonal line.
No impression from the cancelled plate is known. This is a digital image based on the copper plate. 8
