numbers '23C-1' and '10 (circled)' and annotations in pencil on the reverse, framed, 1954

Acquired from Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York, 1999

This impressive early print, on paper with a surface sheen, is in generally excellent condition. The left margin edge is unevenly trimmed. In raking light, silvering is visible in the dark areas. When examined under ultraviolet light, this print does not appear to fluoresce. In addition to the numbering in the center of the verso, the following notations are in unidentified hands in pencil on the reverse: 'PW C19'; 'PF 27119'; 'G 98.0507'; '111.227.'
