Dodgson number: 105.
Dodgson numbers 100-109 were issued in a portfolio with the following title: "Exhibition Etchings. A series of ten original plates by Muirhead Bone." About 90 copies of this set of etchings were printed by T. & R. Annan & Sons at their Glasgow exhibition press in 1901 from steel-faced plates on white paper. In 1905, four special sets were printed after the steel facing was removed from the copper after which the plates were destroyed.
