<p>[QUOTE="sunday silence, post: 4270842, member: 6808"]it is based on one of the etchings from the Suite Vollard one of Picasso's most famous works. However, the image is reversed from the real work. Although the pencil signature is going the correct way, the etched date as well as the rest of the image is reversed. Also there is a blind stamp or watermark or something shown in the last picture. But that doesnt match the correct water marks. In this case, the sheet is of the larger, deluxe edition, like 20" tall. Those papers had either Montvale/Mongtgolfier or Galatea (the paper maker) water marks (if they had any mark, only half the sheets had watermarks). And this one seems like a harp vaguely similar to the Galatea mark.
