This impression was pulled on early 19th-century wove paper, with very wide margins, in the edition published by James Heath in London in 1822: it is not a lifetime impression. Bernard Baron (1696-1762), a French engraver settled in London, was one of the painter's regular collaborators, from Marriage a-la-Mode onward.
