Emil Orlik: Strassenhändler in Korea - Korean Street Vendor
etching, 1911 Plate/Image Size: 27 x 19 cm - (10¾ x 7½ inches) Sheet Size: 41 x 30 cm - (16¼ x 11¾ inches) signed and inscribed '1. Zust., 1 Druck'
the inscription on this extremely rare etching indicates that it is the first impression of the first state of the etching; we do not know of an edition and we have previously only seen one 'Probedruck' (proof) Orlik did not make many prints during his visit to Korea; this is a rare collector's item on wove paper with full margins taped to a museum quality mount and in excellent condition
