This etching received a rarity rating of "RR" by G. W. Nowell-Usticke, who described it as "a rare plate, with a handsome portrait." In 1967, Usticke estimated there were only 50 to 75 impressions in existence.

A strong, precise, and clear impression of this rare print. Trimmed at (or slightly inside the platemark) on the four sides; few minute edge nicks (tiny tear upper edge) and few faint spots.
