Etching and drypoint on antique cream laid paper, 1859. 230x153 mm; 9x6 inches, wide margins. Second state (of 2). Gryphon with the letters B L watermark. A brilliant, richly-inked impression with all the fine lines printing clearly. With sharp contrast between the child's head and background and warm plate tone and crisp, partially inky plate edges; the burnishing and drypoint on the 2 heads formerly in the lower left and lower right showing clearly.
