Etching and aquatint with some surface tone, printed in brown ink on heavy Japanese paper. Dodgson (Legros) records eight states, the fifth of which is described as 'with aquatint', of which this print is presumably an impression. Signed with initials on the plate at lower right: 'A.L.' One of 20 prints on mounts printed with numbers and titles and contained inside a portfolio, half-bound with green cloth (spine and corners) and grey paper and with printed title: 'Eaux-fortes / par Alphonse Legros.'. Acquisition information at lower centre written in pen and ink (probably by John Charrington): 'Given by Prof. A. Legros / 24 May 1879'. The inside of the front board bears the stamp of the London-based mounter and frame-maker, Robert Guéraut who published Legros' etchings after 1863 and who also collected Legros' prints.
