Etching on smooth, cream wove paper, 1859. 100x135 mm; 4x5 3/8 inches, full margins. MacDonald's third state (of 3), with the address of Delâtre; an early impression in this state with the plate corners still sharp (according to MacDonald, they were clipped off before the printing of the later impressions and those plate corners are blunt diagonals).

Colnaghi & Co., Lodnon, and Knoedler & Co., New York, in 1907). From Twelve Etchings from Nature. A superb, early impression with warm plate tone and crisp, partially inky plate edges. Kennedy 15; Glasgow 11.
