Notes (object):
Second state.
This is not a second state of "Elsie Reading to Emma" (M. 106), as it was described by Emma Bellows in her catalogue. Differing in size and with the composition reversed, this study of Emma Bellows and Elsie Speicher was probably the earlier of the two similar stones. (Mason)
