Printed by Hammond and Kell Lithographers, London. Published by Petersburg Press, Ltd., London. From Multicolored Squares I. A very good impression of this scarce lithograph.

According to Axsom, the Multicolored Squares I series is based on six paintings in the Concentric Squares and Mitered Mazes series of 1962-63.
