Additional
Information about the Print
The plate was not published till 1872, when Hamerton
included it in The Portfolio.
This impression is probably from Hamerton’s Examples
of Modern Etching, 1875. Hamerton would issue
it a third time in the 1880 edition of Etching
and Etchers, reflecting his admiration for
the plate which he considered “in its own
way, … is like a pearl or diamond without
flaw”.
