FORMAT OF PUBLISHER, PRINTER/CARVER INFORMATION: I agree with the Case Study up to a
point, particularly the area of the disappearing key block side
line of the
picture in the area of the publisher's and carver/printer cartouches.
However print "D" in addition to newly cut cartouches appears to have an
intensifying of the blue water in that area effectively blending out the
original line in that area. However, the cartouches were newly carved
blocks as the timing of the print progressed. They were not a separate
"chop" mark added after the print was finished.
