GEORGES BRAQUE Théogonie.
Etching, 1932. 366x297 mm; 14 1/2x11 3/4 inches, full margins. Edition of 50. Signed in brown pencil, lower right. Printed by Galanis, Paris. Published by Vollard, Paris. From La Théogonie d'Hesiode. A very good, dark impression with warm plate tone.
Only 10 of the projected 16 etchings for the series were printed and editioned prior to Vollard's untimely death in 1939. These were dispersed piecemeal on the market after 1939. Maeght resumed publication of the series in 1954 and had the 16 etchings printed by Georges Visat, Paris, after the remarqués or outer borders had been removed. Vallier 20 h.
