Inscriptions

Watermark: Watermark: Recto, lower left corner, fragment: "GR" flanked by feathered leaves (similar to Churchill 151 though not a match; RW.707.1 seems to have the crown that would have sat above this mark, so these were both likely cut from a sheet with a Pro Patria mark and countermark. Same mark is also on RW.708.2).

Inscription: Verso: lower right, graphite: "B".

Collector's mark: Verso: lower right corner, stamped in black: Sir Robert Witt (L.2228b).
