inches, full margins. Second state (of 2), with the further shading on the building at the far
right. One of approximately only 20 lifetime impressions in both states combined. Signed,
titled, inscribed “Ep. defi. no.—” and annotated in violet pencil, lower margin (the number
in the inscription effaced). A superb impression of this extremely scarce lithograph.
We have found only three other impressions at auction in the past 30 years.
Pissarro had impressions printed on various toned papers in different ink colors, so there
are differences within the overall print run for this lithograph. Delteil 174.
