Multiple states of both the letterpress and lithographs exist, in various combinations. The first edition was published in 1848 with the imprint of Little & Brown and with lithographs printed by J.H. Bufford; Bufford's plates were successively passed on to B.W. Thayer (a partner from 1840-45 and 1850-51), Samuel and John Chandler, and Frank F. Oakley, each of whom eradicated his predecessor's imprint and added his own in its place. See Tatham, David, "John Henry Bufford," Proceedings of the AAS, Vol. 86, Pt. 1, (1976), p. 59.
