Transcription notes
An art-market record, not an institutional one, and weighted accordingly. Recorded because the watermark and the trimming are stated, which makes it a usable comparator for the paper question, and because it is the only impression of this print traceable in this house's public archive.
How to read this record
Every field above is transcribed from the holding institution’s own published record, in the institution’s own words. Nothing has been normalised, converted or reconciled — where a record is internally inconsistent, or disagrees with another institution, the inconsistency is preserved, because it is data about the state of cataloguing for this plate rather than noise to be tidied away.
If this record is wrong — and if you work at this institution you will know before we do — please tell us. Corrections are logged with their reason and credited.
