Notes (object):
Published state. Drypoint on copper. Heavy lines darken the ripples in the water. There are now two ripples in front of the leading duckling, a dark ripple is seen behind the nearest duckling but one, and the ripple which was added in Trial Proof E is now increased by several short heavy lines. Reproduced. One hundred and fifty proofs, signed, on Whatman paper.
