Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective, qualified opinion.

NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE."

As noted by Hughey, "[Dulac's] plates, truly genius, do much to bring a fanciful touch to the otherwise stark exposition of a treatise on pearls". The English and American markets both saw two limited editions. The limited edition of 100 copies, signed by Dulac and the limited edition of 675 which was not signed by the artist.
