Le Journal.

Etching and drypoint on cream laid paper, 1883. 378x292 mm; 14 7/8x11 1/2 inches, full margins. Wentworth's trial proof "c" with additional work on the figure, the newspaper and the chestnut leaves, but before the darker shading of the background, aside from the edition of approximately 100. Inscribed "6 Etat/VII" in pencil, lower left. A brilliant, richly-inked and early impression of this important etching with strong, velvety burr. Wentworth 73.
