De Vesme/Massar 0011, i/iv
DescriptionAlthough De Vesme/Massar describes the first state as before any inscription, there can be seen on this impression a very faint inscription in the upper left portion of the lower border, in which the word "Bella" can be discerned; this inscription is not, however, the inscription that appears on the later states of the print.
