This is the least finished of the three unnumbered prints. Large portions of the bottom left of the image are left without ink. The ink is applied very lightly and unevenly. The corners have triangular ink-stains where the block must have picked up ink outside the actual engraving.

Scope and Contents:

First state in which the leftmost figure is engraved (he occupies an undifferentiated black patch in the unnumbered proofs). This print follows State [0c]: corrections in State [0c] are incorporated into this print. Whether the two follow each other immediately, without any other intermediate states, is not clear.

Numbered 1 in upper right corner.

Dates: [between 1949 and 1951]

Sugaring: State 2, [between 1949 and 1951]

Sugaring: State [6a], [between 1949 and 1951]

 Item — Oversize 3: Series 2, Folder: 10
Call Number: MSS 7, Series II
Scope and Contents:

This state is unnumbered, but falls between States 6 and 7 in the engraving process. The clearest clue is in the sled, where the upward-curving runner and some detail in the wood is added in gouache to State 6, and then appears to be engraved in this unnumbered print (but in less detail than in State 7).

Dates: [between 1949 and 1951]
