Published state. New lines of rain are added with the graver: for example, the two intersecting lines are made continuous and extended to touch the dark clouds on the horizon. Reproduced. Forty-five proofs, signed and numbered, on Shogun and Hodamura paper. The design for this plate was drawn in lithographic crayon on the copper and then transferred to paper by printing. This transferred drawing is heavily worked over throughout in pen and ink. Mr. Benson made two other plates of this subject but considered them unsatisfactory and destroyed all record of them.
