Lit: As for T04787, but engraver's proof (c)

Publication details and original painting as for T04787. Although an inscription in pencil describes this proof as ‘e.p.a. [engraver's proof (a)] or before’, the faint engraved inscription seems to be that for the last engraver's proof listed in Rawlinson and the plate appears to be complete, with clouds added to the sky.
