An additional plate signature would also be added for the second state. There were five different states in all. Catalogue references: Drake 51 and Schneiderman 53. This impression is signed both in pencil and in the plate. Printed on watermarked laid paper, the plate measures 14 x 9 1/2 inches (355 x 242mm).
