    IMG_8119.JPG IMG_8120.JPG IMG_8121.JPG IMG_8122.JPG The title is "L'Accordeoniste". I have not taken it out of the frame but I guess it is the unsigned edition, with the centerfold.
    Wonder what's with the wrong info on the back?

    Nevermind, the print was an illustration for a book by Jacques Lassaigne but I don't think the name was Voyage to ...

    Is that what the center fold signifies? I have a Chagall (different print, from a different gallery) that has the center fold, but I honestly thought it was just a result of mishandling...................

    It's just the way it was issued for the book. This particular print has impressions with wide margins, one sheet, no fold. So, it not considered a flaw but I guess the price of a full sheet print would be generally higher.
    Also, I think with the right equipment the trace can be straighten up and ne made not that obvious.
