Inscriptions
Watermark: none.
Collector's mark: none.
Inscription: Recto: lower centre edge, brown ink, same hand as on D.1952.RW.121: "Cespedes". Verso (hidden under backing sheet, just visible with transmitted light): left centre edge, ink: illegible – perhaps with a strong camera and lightbox could be read (possibly is on the recto, right edge of the backing sheet, as one word seems to read ‘Cima’ when seen from the recto with transmitted light).
