A very rare impression, incorrectly dated in Thein/Lasansky as 1936. This was not uncommon at the time of the catalogue's publishing, as many of Lasansky's earliest prints were still in Argentina or otherwise not obtainable at the time. Of note as well is the discrepancy in the editioning: the print itself is editioned in the margin as 5/6 while the book notes an edition of 10.
