Lot Essay

Prasse includes a total of three known proofs, including one example on cream wove paper. Another impression was sold at Christie's in June 1983 on laid japan paper.

It is interesting to note that this print was in the personal collection of the Norwegian painter and printmaker Edvard Munch (1863-1944), which he may have acquired directly from Feininger, perhaps in exchange for one of his own graphic works.
