This is an example of the second state of this print. For an example of the first state see negative no. C-001090., The two states can be distinguished by the change in name of the publisher from Carington Bowles to Bowles & Carver, and by the removal of the date "1745" from the title of the second state., The dating of the second state is determined by the years of operation of Bowles & Carver., Fragile - highly discoloured - platemark ragged edges
