Original etching. S 335 x 257 mm; P & I 250 x 235 mm SOLD |

Exceptionally early working proof impression in the first state of the plate.
The earliest known example of this etching, showing the subject essentially in outline only and prior to development of the etched image.
On antique laid paper, watermarked Aldwych, with full margins and deckle edge. One old paper hinge at edge of sheet verso; generally very good original condition. |
