Issued as a separate sheet by the journal "Revue de la Semaine" on April 29, 1877. This impression is trimmed to remove the inscriptions. Fisher states that "because of its inclusion, presumably in a large edition, in an identified periodical, and because Lefman was designated as the printer, this object can be most securely identified as a gillotage print, rather than a transfer lithograph."
