Notes:  This sought-after Pablo Picasso Linocut (after the original) is from the original Harry N. Abrams 1962 edition, published in New York, 1962.  This rare suite was personally approved by Picasso, who started making linoleum cuts during the late 1950's.  The 1950s originals of this suite were signed by the artist in and sold in an edition of only 50 pieces.   Then in 1962 Picasso and the Louise Leiris Gallery cooperated with the production of this rare (after the original) linocut suite, meticulously recreated in reduced size. The printing was done in West Germany, with a French edition published by Editions Cercle D'Art and an American edition published by Harry Abrams, both in 1962. The 1962 after set are superior in quality, having been designed as actual linocuts and printed on heavy wove paper with a richly textured printed surface.  This is N O T a reprint or poster (photomechanical reproduction such as offset lithographs or giclée print).
