Pablo Picasso (1891-1973 )Man with a dog (Schoelcher street). 1915-1930. Etching and scraping. 217 x 278. Bloch 28; Baer 39 B d. Very nice and fresh proof, one of the 40 on japanese old ivory laid paper, printed with a light background tint, signed in red pencil. Some short traces of folds. Slight foxing at the top edge of the leaf. All margins untrimmed [286 x 460]. Printed in 1947 by Lucien Vollard and Marcel Lecomte. Total edition of approximately 100 prints. "The copper was acquired by Vollard in 1930 and not printed by him. The proofs were not, strictly speaking, "edited". It was Marcel Lecomte who took care of them and it was he who had them signed by Picasso, probably in the late 1950s."
