Munch "Early State" Original Etching And Drypoint. Catalogue Reference: Schiefler 268, First State Of Two. Also Described By Willoch In His Catalogue (Entry 139) As The Second State Of Three. This Difference Between The Two Catalogues Is Explained By The Fact That The True First State Exists Only As A Handful Of Working Proofs (Unknown To Schiefler And Virtually Unobtainable To Collectors); The Second State (Offered Here) Was Published In Berlin By Paul Cassirer In 1908. Munch Would Later Rework The Plate For The 1912 Edition, Adding Finishing Touches To The Tree Trunks, Rocks, Sky And Cottage Roof. Plate Size: 4 1/8 X 5 7/8 Inches (105 X 150mm) With Good Margins- Professionally Framed & Matted - Comes With Certificate - -
