Impression bears symphonic margins; later state published in the series "Six eaux-fortes pour illustrer les Lettres de mon Moulin de Alphonse Daudet (Paris: Alphonse Lemerre, 1882)." It is similar to the description of state iv as given by Bourcard/Goodfriend, however when compared to another impression of the same state (see 1996.48.11146) there are small additions, particularly in the margins, in the latter.
