Tooley 203 mentions an unnumbered plate (Knocked Senseless by Knight of the Whip) not present here, or in the Abbey copy (in original wrappers), or in any copy listed. The original wrappers call for Twelve Plates and therefore the plate in question, which was published by W. Egerton, is certainly not required in the above work. (375*274 mm), (Abbey Life 286.
