Central strip of reddish brown linear ruled spiral lathe. 100mm by 30mm. Vertical axis, composite elements constructed from large red circular cycloidals, average 65mm diameter, with black counters affixed center. Top, 100 and bottom numeral 6 counters in arced edged hexagons. Left and right of red lathe strip, ONE counters, the right with scallops. Four corners with intricate cycloidals, style of early plates from the book (see Plates 30-40 region in The Stack’s “52 Collection” catalogue). Superb three color arrangement and impressively sized. The elements fill the page very nicely with natural balance. This is a very choice quality example from the book, no India flaws, and has rather handsome edge tone on the paper page that is superb for display.
