Rodolphe Leroy, « Discovery of a novel state of the Jean Mignon signed etching of "Alexander gifting gold to the priests of Ammon". », HALSHS : archive ouverte en Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société, ID : 10670/1.f3d182...
There are only two known prints signed by Jean Mignon, a decorative cartouche ("Io. MIGon. 1544") and "Alexander gifting gold to the priests of Ammon" ("Io. MIGon."). Until now, the latter was known only in one state and three proofs kept at the British Musem, the Arsenal Library and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 2016 the Dole city library purchased an album of prints that contained a different state of this engravong. A close examination further shows that the British Museum proof is actually from the same state as this Dole Library print.
