More Information
Printing variations: While the first state of the print shows the names of the publisher and the series on the umbrella, this picture is the second state, with only faint traces of the words on the umbrella. The earlier impression has very light grey rain, and the distant row of bamboo is much lighter than the nearer row; in this print, a later impression, this distinction is lost. The tips of both rows are printed with dark grey and the effect is more violent and stormy.
