Lot Essay

As mentioned in his description of the edition, Tomás Harris knew of at least one set from the Fifth Edition printed on old paper and with the numbers masked (Harris, p. 370) and marks this remark with the symbol denoting prints owned by him. The present, very carefully printed impressions come from his collection.
