This print was commissioned for inclusion in the deluxe edition of "American Etchers, Vol. XI: Martin Lewis," published in an edition of 75 by the Crafton Collection in New York and distributed by P. & D. Colnaghi in London. The edition of 75 was delivered to the Crafton collection in 1931. There were 9 proofs, several prior to steel facing and several after. There are no recorded sales at Kennedy Galleries during the artist's lifetime, as the edition was given to another publisher.
