Notes (object):
Published state. Dark clouds are introduced near the horizon at the left. Patches of shading of a grainy tone are added in the sky and in the water. This tone was made by re-grounding the plate, rubbing sand-paper through the ground and re-biting. Reproduced. One hundred and fifty proofs, signed and numbered, on Van Gelder and Shogun paper.
