DescriptionBlack/ gray ink, bevel.
Posthumous impression, printed about 1848-1854 (H. II, 1 as "Trial Proof").
The preferred series title "Disparates" (Follies) is derived from manuscript titles containing the word "Disparate" on fourteen of the working proofs, of which this is one. Beruete and others invented titles containing "Disparate" for the rest, except "Modo de volar" (no. 13).
