Etching, drypoint and aquatint with some surface tone, printed in brown ink on heavy Japanese paper. Comparison with an impression of the sixth state in the collection of Boston Public Library (Bliss collection; gift of Albert H. Wiggin, 1941) indicates that this impression is also the sixth state of six as recorded by Dodgson. Signed by the artist in brown ink in the margin at lower right: 'A. Legros'. 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. An impression of the sixth state is also in the collection of Boston Public Library (Bliss collection; gift of Albert H. Wiggin, 1941).
