a brilliant impression of one of the earliest known and scarcest of Orlik prints; possibly the only engraving he completed a wonderful impression, on laid paper; the plate measures 15 x 11 cms, much larger than the image apart from a few light handling marks in the very wide margins, in excellent condition
