State I, before etching of title, State II after etching of title.

So far, numbers on numbered prints found are between 11 and 55. This may indicate that none were printed and numbered above 55.

Number of prints: most likely only 55 or less. This number may include very few State I/II prints (titled in pencil and not numbered).
