[QUOTE="Alec Sutton, post: 46890, member: 80"]Proof before letters conventionally means any example before any lettering of any kind. On the face of it I think it's probable you have a general equivalent to the British Museum pre-lettering proof. The laid paper adds weight to this, as well as the bottom edge still bearing the excess etched lines...which appear to have been burnished away in later states. No indication I can see that it's from a book.[/QUOTE]
