S t a t e C h a n g e s a n d E d i t i o n s"A state is any stage in the development of a print at which impressions are printed. A change of state occurs only with the addition or removal of lines on a plate. Variations that may occur in the inking or printing do not constitute a change in state. Impressions from the plate in its earliest known condition are said to be of the first state, in the second condition second state, and so forth."
