Etching, 1927, from Le chef-d'oeuvre inconnu, signed in red ink (faded) and numbered 73/99, (aside from the book edition of 340), published by Vollard, Paris, on Van Gelder wove paper, with full margins, in good condition, a short crease in the right margin, the right sheet edge with minor rubbing, pale light-staining
Condition
The print is in good condition as catalogued. The brown ink of the signature and numbering has faded, likely attributable to the pale window of light-stain around the image. The crease at right is semi-circular in shape, away from the image and measures circa 1 inch. Just to the right of the crease a 2 inch long rubbed areas is visible at the extreme sheet edge. There is very minor surface soiling in the margins and time stain at the sheet edges.
