- Scope and Content:
- Unnumbered print. The clearest indication that this state comes after State 5 is found in the landscape between the two necks of the crane, where the two parallel shadows have been reduced to only one shadow; also, in the black triangle to the left of the crane, detail lines appear in this proof that are absent from State 5. It probably precedes State 6 because this proof lacks details in the rope, metal ring, etc. in the leftmost portion of the tool assembly. However, some details present in State 5 and even earlier prints are missing here. The printing overall is poor quality, spotted with white dots. Fingerprints appear at the top right of the page.
