Item details

Ref: Black & Moorehead 220. Black and Moorhead used this image for the dustwrapper of ‘The Prints of Stanley William Hayter: A Complete catalogue’ 1992. They state that a few trial proofs were made. Numbers up to 10 were printed on B.F.K.paper, and numbers 11-20 were printed in 1968 on Lauriat paper. The highest number recorded printed were 40, therefore the edition size is 40 copies, not 50 as stated.
