Description

Published in "XXe Siècle," No. 5/6, Paris, 1939, after p. 52.
According to Roethel, 600 copies were printed for the French edition and 600 for the English edition of “XXe Siècle.” Other than these prints published in the journal, there are an unknown number of further examples, whose paper is identical with those that appeared in the journal, and whose sheet measurements are roughly 25.5 cm. x 33 cm. The museum’s impression is probably one of those.
