Note: the title page of this copy has been altered/conserved in the past, removing the lower portion, including the planter and pedestals, replacing with new paper and adding a small amount of pen facsimile work. This change is clearly visible under UV light. When first acquired by University of Glasgow in 2014, the alteration was not identified and the work was catalogued as a variant of F.193. Updated in 2023, with thanks to Stephen Rawles for identifying. |
