Information

Copper engraving on laid paper. 24 × 18,8 cm (9 ½ × 7 ⅜ in.). Catalogue raisonné: Bartsch 74 / Meder 75 II c-d (of f) / Schoch/Mende/Scherbaum 71. The present print is a beautiful example of the state M 75, II c-d (of f) described by Joseph Meder. Like most of the papers of the master prints, it has no watermark and is distinguished by its even silvery tone. In the magic square, the number 9 has been corrected to the correct side, and no scratch is yet visible on the ball.
