ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR THIS DESIGN
Currently Documented Version Characteristics:
This design was part of the original series of forty-eight designs completed by October 1931 and was also included in later reprintings. The example images were taken with different cameras. However, Version III copies typically do differ somewhat in printing technique and ink color from earlier version copies. One difference is that the lower background in Version I is a very pale green bokashi, and later versions have uninked backgrounds.
