PRINTING

Four impressions have been located. One is in black ink on ivory Japan paper, printed with a light burr on parts of the dress, producing a very soft effect (Graphic with a link to impression #K1180101). Another early impression, also in black, is on cream Asian paper (Graphic with a link to impression #K1180102). In addition, Kennedy reproduces a later impression printed with much heavier burr (Graphic with a link to impression #K1180201) but this has not been located. 8

8: Kennedy 1910 (cat. no. 118).
