Inscriptions

Signature bottom left [Michael Angelus Inventor. CB]

Caption bottom center [Formosa haec Leda est, cignus fit Juppiter illam/ Comprimit, hoc geminum quis credat parturit ovum,/ Ex illo gemini pollux, cum castore fratres,/ Ex isto erumpens Helene pulcherrima prodit.]
Notes
English: version in reverse of that described by Schele as 59a. Since it is also signed by Bos, it appears to be a replica made by himself (Shele decribes on p.138 four copies, none of which is this print). For another impression in reverse see 1930,U.1435. For impressions in the direction described by Shele see 1878,0713.161 and 1928,0313.85.
