Published state. After a few impressions, the bur raised by the diamond-point wore down, and the plate was carefully reworked with a steel point. New lines are added only in the eagles plumage, which is made almost an even black. Reproduced. About thirty proofs, signed and numbered, on Shogun paper. Plate destroyed
