250 (State)
Note: The term “edition” in graphic materials indicates a print run and is recorded in a note. When describing prints, the word “state” rather than “edition” is used to describe identical impressions printed from the same unchanged printing plate, block, or stone (the matrix).
Transcribe any statement related to state in the 250. Use square brackets when supplying information from a catalogue raisonné or when supplying text to described changes in the matrix.
Example:
250 __‡a Proof.
250 __ ‡a [State with road side added in upper left of image].
250 __ ‡a [State 2].
Note: 500__ ‡a 2nd state as described in: Paulson, R. Hogarth’s graphic works, no. 9
