- Notes (object):
-
Trial proof (6). The plate from this point is completely altered; in fact, at first glance, appears a different plate. The town and Cathedral have been scraped out and re-etched; the boeier on the left has been removed; and little of the original etching remains except the sailing boat in the foreground with the other sailing boat and schooner behind it.
