PABLO PICASSO Le Carmen des Carmen.
Aquatint, 1949. 405x305 mm; 16x12 inches, full margins. A unique impression of the cancelled plate only issued in the first of 30 deluxe editions. Printed by Lacourière and Crommelynck, Paris. Published by Éditions Français Réunis, Paris. From the same-titled suite. A very good impression of this extremely scarce aquatint.
According to Cramer, "Copy No. I contains an additional impression from the cancelled plate of each of the four aquatints and the drypoint, as well as an impression of the lithograph, printed in black and in ocher, with the image partially effaced by a cross." See Bloch 1001; Baer 874; Cramer Books 126.
