Abstract

Here is the masterpiece of our collection! This second portfolio contains 49 of Chagall's etchings, with a list of fables at the conclusion of each volume. As in Volume 1, the cover is also an original etching. Limited to 200 copies on vélin de Rives. I fear that listing favorites among the etchings will have me listing almost all. Among the best are: "Old Woman and Two Maids" (56); "Satyr and Traveler" (57); "Bear and Two Travelers" (63); "Young Widow" (72); MM (75); "Cobbler and Financier" (79); "Secret" (80); "Dog with Master's Lunch" (81); "Ass and Lapdog" (86); and "Farmer and Squeaking Pig" (92).
