Plate 71, Sheet formerly from the Cyrus Durand Archive Book. Counter and Dies in Black and Red.
There are twelve elements (one torn), eight printed in black and four in deep rust reddish orange. Central 50mm TWO scalloped lathe counter. Both axes with cycloidals, extreme bottom dog vignette. Within the angles, quartet of all different red color counters with overlapping finely micro-lettered protector text. Great contrast, but large chunk of India paper out of the central counter. Needs a piece affixed over the center and it would display well. Ex: Stack’s, The 52 Collection, June 2010, lot 5874; private purchase, Anthony Terranova. |
