Jay Fisher has noted that the paper type and signature suggest a late printing (see also 1996.48.634)
Melot makes a correction to earlier cataloguer's dates and states "the dates of 1866 and 1865 given respectively by Delteil and Beraldi are to be corrected since this plate was the first contribution of Corot to the Société des Aquafortistes, who published it as no. 38 in their eighth selection, April 1, 1863."
