DescriptionA view of the Thames at Battersea with Battersea Railway Bridge in the distance.
It is very difficult to be positive about the order of the states. The print went through many state changes involving considerable reworking: furthermore, because of the plate's weakness, it began to split during the printing of the Gazette edition, then broke, as Drake and Harrington assert, during the Études printing, which "in part accounts for the fact that the full number of copies [250] were not issued."
Schneiderman (1983) p. 137 - 139
