  • watermark: LB [Hinterding p. 83, LB.a.b. See p. 82;t this is the countermark of Foolscap with a five-pointed collar, K.a., which Hinterding, p. 389, dates to c. 1650.]

An estate sale of Hillier's stock, or collection, took place in 1784; presumably this inscription was made by the buyer of this impression, recording the purchase.]
