Lot Essay

This impression is most likely the key stone of Mongan, Kornfeld & Joachim's fourth state, Edition D printed in black without additional colors added via stencil. Edition D was laid to wove and shows considerably less splitting in the block than the edition published by Pola Gauguin in 1921.
