Signed, titled and annotated in pencil
Edition: Artist Proof (there was a published addition of 30 with five stencil colors)
Annotated: “Artist’s Proof 1” in pencil
Printed on off white wove paper by the artist
Condition: Very good
Tiny tape remnants in bottom margin from previous matting
Provenance: Distinguished Private Collection, Indianapolis

Note: This impression is the first printing of the image. It is before the artist added five stencil colors to the final composition. Impressions of the image are in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, National Gallery of Art, Cleveland Museum and the Smart Museum at the University of Chicago. The 1940’s and 50’s are considered the artist’s best period of printmaking. In 1959 Peterdi authored his important book of creating fine prints, entitled Printmaking: Methods Old and New, which was very influential in the education of print makers in modern techniques of gravure.
