Lot description - from the online catalogue*

Provenance:
Private Collection, New Mexico
Notes:
In a stone rubbing, the print is created by laying the paper on top of the stone block and rubbing it with ink or pencil. The image appears on the topside of the paper rather than the side touching the stone block, and will therefore be reversed compared to a stonecut print.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
