Proof before letterpress inscription and before the publication in "Le Charivari" 23.01.1843
The main title below the image "L'Héritier. présomtif." most likely in Daumier's own handwriting. Several other authograph annotations by different hands. Ex collection R. Gaston‑Dreyfus (not in Lugt). For a closer description and more pics see: http://www.galeriehochdruck.com/Ausstellungen/Bon_a_tirer/bon_a_tirer_catalogue.html#bon_a_tirer_daumier_erstdruck
