Details
Max Ernst (1891-1976)
Frottage, for Lewis Carroll's Wunderhorn

There are some scattered spots of glue and residues of paper - from of an old mount - at the left edge (in the area presently covered by the mount). Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the present work appears to be in good condition.
