Additional Details

number three of only twenty-five roman-numbered copies containing two suites of the plates in their first and only published edition. A few proofs were printed from the original plates which were then passed down through Goya's grandson Mariano to two other owners before Hofer acquired them in the 1930s. After this limited publication of 150, he gifted them to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Sayre's monograph is the definitive study of these prints.
