Jacob, artist // to the Prince D'Eichstadt, and bears on it the look of a genuine likeness. The stone // was forwarded to England, at the request of Mr. C. Wymann, for the Caxton Celebration, // and, by his permission, a transfer has been specially taken for the purpose of being printed at // the Senefelder Press. The stone was not retouched or repaired in any way before taking // the transfer. // the Litho Press, on which this is printed, is a fac simile of the first Press made in // England, and was specially constructed (in exact accordance with Senefelder's Patent // Specification of June 20th, 1801, Non. 2518) for Messrs. Blades & Co., Abchurch Lane, // who have lent it for this exhibition.
