Description
This impression of 'Three Personages' is numbered 178/225. This impression is from "A Portfolio of 5 Prints', published by Ted Gotthelf and Rio Grande Graphics in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Gotthelf set the editions of his publications at 225 but there were not many buyers in the early 1950's so only 60 portfolios were released. He had the artists number the portfolios somewhat randomly, picking 60 numbers throughout the edition so that it would appear that many had been sold.
This impression is signed by Yunkers with a red crayon in the lower center margin.
