PRINTING
Of the known impressions of this etching, most are in black ink on laid paper, including two on ivory paper with a Strasbourg Lily watermark (,) and one on cream 'modern' (post-1800) laid Van Gelder paper (); one, however, is on cream wove paper (). The binding complicates measuring those impressions still in volumes, but the paper can vary in size from at least 235 x 382mm () to 240 x 322 mm ().
