The turban folds, moustache, face hatching, dark coat and star-shaped decoration match the scrapbook. The complete bust, background hatching and two-line printed caption are retained. Other portraits, the decorative banner and Government House on the full p. 513 are outside this crop. A named artist, engraver or photographic source for this exact impression is not established here.

The issue masthead on the previously reviewed p. 497 prints the number, volume and date; the same retained immutable witness is identified in the dossier. This page is headed Special Supplement. The first publication in all editions and the physical copy used for the scrapbook cutting are not established.
