The hand additions vary from impression to impression. For comparison, see the other impression in the Evolving Composition Diagram below.

The plate seen in panels (a) and (c) was also included in the illustrated book "Hang On" and in the edition "The Lost Girl." They can both be seen in Related Works in the Catalogue below.
