Catalogue Note

This is a proof impression aside from the edition, of about 50, of the plate from At the Bottom of My Garden, issued by the artist in book form, 1955 (cf. Feldman & Schellmann, Andy Warhol Prints, IV, 88).  The edition was printed on newsprint sheets, approximately 8 x 11 inches (20 by 28 cm.); this is on a larger sheet of paper, of better quality.
