IFF cites two states of this print, one with the address "En la Place Dauphine au Roy David" and one with the address "au bout du pont au change...". This impression does not have an address, but it is clear that an address that formerly appeared in the plate at the lower left corner of the bottom margin has been abraded out. It seems likely that this impression is a later, third, state.
