Descriptif du lot

At the suggestion of his friend, the poet e.e. cummings, Hamaguchi Yozo began making mezzotints in Paris in the late 1930s. Fifty years later he honored cummings with a series of twenty color variants of Twenty-two cherries in which each variant corresponds to one of the first twenty lines of cumming's poem, "anyone lived in a pretty how town."

This is a variant of Teien, pl. 126.
