Offset lithograph printed in colours, 1953, signed in pencil, numbered 180/350, and inscribed A mon ami V??? Paris 6 21 Mai 1953, in red crayon (slightly faded), published by Guy Spitzer, Paris, on Arches wove paper, with full margins, in good condition apart from pale discoloration in the margins
Condition
The print is in good condition as catalogued. The margins have been slightly discolored over time due to varying degrees of light- and mount-staining. The band of discoloration at the upper margin and sheet edge suggests the margin was previously folded back. The sheet has been cleaned, which has faded the red crayon inscription at lower right.
