An additional inscription on the verso reads January / No. 17 / pp. 136-37 / part II / extra oversize. Lavin's work as an illustrator was used by publications such as Reader's Digest Books and the magazines Time, Life and Fortune, the notations suggest that this painting was the original artwork for a commercial illustration.
