专家说明

Saphire notes that two proofs were pulled in 1945 or thereabouts, one with the face wiped which Curt Valentin kept and the other, with overall tone, which Masson kept (presumably the current lot). The edition of 1977 was pulled on the old Atelier 17 press which Hayter gave to Kurt Schrag when Atelier 17 disbanded in New York.
