Notes (object):
Trial proof (e). Reflections of the lowest ducks are added in the water. The grasses in the foreground are much darkened, and extended to the right edge of the plate. The distant shore, and the sky behind the clouds at the right and in the upper part at the left, are shaded. There is further heavy drypoint added on the ducks, especially on those at the right, and on the leading duck at the extreme left. One impression, on Shogun paper.
