The artist drew Fumette on more than one occasion. In its original state, the etching was published by the Fine Art Society in 1879. The impression was taken from a cancelled plate and was bound in a volume with GLAHA 49975 - 50030, with a description by Rosalind Birnie Philip of how she came by them. This volume of cancelled impressions was formed as evidence that the plates themselves had been cancelled. The etching plate for this work is also in the Hunterian collection (GLAHA 50305). (See also GLAHA 49938 - 49971/49973/49974).
