Le Diable Imprimeur (The Devil Printer, a pun on

Etching and drypoint, 1878, 120 x 158 mm., Bourcard/Goodfriend 50 ii/iii. A brilliant impression of the finished plate (i.e. before the cancellation) printed, with manipulated plate tone, on strong, laid paper with good margins, and signed with the red owl stamp, placed, oddly, sideways in the left margin. The impression also bears the triangular Buhot family stamp on the reverse.
