Published state. The signature F.W.B. '16 is inserted in the lower left corner. The clump of grasses to the left of the reflections of the ducks is extended upwards by the addition of a few dark stems slanting from left to right. Clouds are added at the right, and the upper right corner of the sky is darkened by fine horizontal lines. Reproduced. Forty-nine proofs, of which forty-eight are signed and numbered, on Shogun paper.
