Notes
Etching with some engraving?
Speech bubble from Lion's mouth differs here from the British Museum version. The bubble in Peel 0313 reads "I lead you Sr. Blew String", and runs along the lion's back. The bubble in the British Museum version reads "Follow me Sr. Blew String", and runs in the opposite direction. From comparing Peel 0313 with the microfilmed British Museum image it appears that Peel 0313 is a slightly earlier printing, as traces of the erased speech bubble can be seen on the British Museum version.
