Japonisme: Génie Bronze (Bronze Goblin)

Etching and drypoint, 1874, 190 x 147 mm., Bourcard/Goodfriend 14 i-ii/iii from Japonisme. Provenance: Buhot family (triangular stamp). Superb impression in black ink of a previously unrecorded state, after the first signature was removed and before the second one was added, printed on laid japan paper with large margins, signed with the large red owl stamp. The published state of the print was printed in dark green. The black ink here gives the print an altogether different aura.
