The dealer who dismantled the Zobel Album in 1999 cut various sheets with multiple prints in two to sell them separately. In this case, the Rijksmuseum was able to acquire both the top and bottom half of the sheet, which a paper restorer was skilfully able to reattach. The cutting line can still be vaguely discerned.
