a brilliant impression on chamois-coloured imperial japan paper with full, very wide margins;
this is considered Orlik's masterpiece portrait etching; there was no published edition: Orlik printed it on a variety of papers for special orders and examples are dated from 1902 to 1904; this is the first impression we have seen on this luxurious paper
apart from minor handling creases, some inherent in this paper, in excellent condition
