Lot Essay

The present example of this rare print is presumably an impression of a second state, undescribed by Delteil, probably printed in a small, slightly later edition of uncertain size. It shows some minor retouching and strengthening of the plate and punchmarks in the corners, which were mentioned by Susan Strauber referring to this present sheet (see Delteil/ Strauber 23, footnotes).
