Provenance

Recorded Ownership History: Martin Carlsson, purchased from the Stockholm stads bokauktion, 1953. Auction purchase, May 29, 1953. Inscriptions on some of the prints in this album were deciphered by Ulf Cederlöf, who identified the hand as that of Carlsson. This print was bound with other prints after Poussin paintings in a late 17th-early 18th c. French album (binding fragments in print dept. files/GB on techniques), and other of the prints had also an unidentified brown ink paraph. See correspondence with object file.
