Description
The 66 etching plates for this Portfolio of La Célestine were completed between April 11 and August 18, 1968. This portfolio was published by Editions de l'Atelier Crommelynck in Paris in 1971. It was created in a book edition of 350 plus 30 HC (hors commerce) examples of which this one is numbered XXIII/XXX. Picasso signed the justification page of the portfolio of 66 prints rather than each one individually. In addition, as part of the 347 Series 50 impressions were printed on a larger paper (of each of the 66 images). Source: https://bit.ly/3dH7ZS3
