Three numbers appear on recto in white ink on the gelatin silver print of this image in the Nelson collection. Only one of these numbers can be determined, namely "1328". The other numbers have been scratched over, or are partly obscurred by damage to the orginal glass negative. The same numbers in the same locations are on the gelatin silver print of this image in the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Archives.
