This print is the first version of the subject. According to Delteil, as translated in Melot, "the varnish having split in several places, Daubigny canceled out his work and on the same plate, planed down, engraved the same subject a second time." (see Delteil/Melot 109 for the second version). This print, according to Delteil, is "de toute rareté", and Melot states that only a single proof is known (Lucas Collection).
