Histoire Naturelle de Buffon -Picasso- 31 cancelled original copper plates. November 1971
New York: Weintraub Gallery, 1971. Paperback. Plates as called for, first struck between 1936 and 1942, and published 1942. Each reproduction is from the cancelled image, showing the large superimposed "X" that cancels. Unpaginated, each plate shown fullpage, ergo 31 pages plus additional materials also unpaginated. Nice condition; softbound in matte-black wraps with labeling in bronze & white, 9.5 inches square, protected in a well-preserved acetate sur-wrapper. Item itself is mildly edgeworn, while the clear acetate is a bit rubbed. Sound, square, clean, and (beyond a date penned neatly to front free endpaper) without markings of any kind. This is a very good copy.
