Title etched at top of plate, within a banner held by a putto in the sky.

Initial letters of printmaker's name in signature form a monogram.

Restrike (probably retouched) of a print originally published in 1647 as part of a series of eight. See Adams.

Approximate publication date from Adams, who notes that printsellers such as Laurie & Whittle were selling impressions on wove paper of the prints in this series at the turn of the 19th century. Decades earlier, the publishers Sayer and Bennett had offered impressions "on very good paper" in their 1775 catalogue, writing that the original plates had been "carefully cleaned" (that is, the worn lines had likely been re-engraved).

Sheet trimmed within plate mark.
