Artist's proof, likely a unique impression printed in this manner, aside from the edition of 100. Signed, dated and inscribed "a/p" in pencil, lower margin. A superb, richly-inked impression.

Avery printed from the same wood block twice on this sheet, inverting the image and joing the two impressions along the horizontal axis, to create this impression. Lunn 41.
