Notes:
Title from catalogue raisonné.
Comstock and Fletcher number: 299.
From catalogue raisonné: About 12 proofs. A notable example of closing in on a design [...] Nason cut away the plate on three sides to press in against the central design. At the same time he did much additional engraved work resulting in subtle changes in color values. He achieved a design of far greater intensity.
