Inscriptions
Watermark: none.
Inscription: Recto: lower left edge, grey ink, dated by the artist? Cut off at the edge: “[...]úgsbúryk[?] Anno 1651 Im 14 Septembr.” [Troutman thought this first word was the artist's name 'Schuch', which I cannot see; he also noted that it is a different spelling from that seen on RW.273, proving that both inscriptions can't have been written by the artist himself].
Collector's mark: none.
