When Goya completed the 33 prints in the Tauromaquia series, he made seven additional prints on the reverse that were not originally published. French engraver and publisher, Eugène Loizelet, later purchased the Tauromaquia copperplates and published them with the lettering A-G in the upper right hand corners, as you see here.
