a perfect impression on pale cream pre-1939 Italian hand made paper with a watermark Umbria Amalfi and a crown; deckle edges on three sides and full, wide margins
in pristine condition

from the separate suite of 10 etchings aside from the book edition of 200 unsigned impressions

the etchings were made to illustrate the Gehenna Press edition of Robert Bagg's translation of Euripides' play about Hippolitos and his father Theseus and step-mother Phaedra, queen of the Amazons. They are among the most powerful images Baskin made of mythical subjects
