Landing in England
(state iii/v)

This is a rare impression of an early state. Buhot has already begun to think of the image without the margins, as indicated by the graphite mark at left. Much of the aquatinted areas was done with a spirit ground, a type of etching in which the resin is dissolved in alcohol to give the artist greater control. This can be seen most clearly in the tonal areas of the sky.
