EDOUARD MANET (1832-1883) Trente Eaux-fortes originales, Paris, A. Strölin, Ancienne Maison L Dumont, 27 Rue Lafitte, 1905
Printing
This impression was probably printed by Alfred Strölin in 1905, for his folio EDOUARD MANET (1832-1883) Trente Eaux-fortes originales. Strölin acquired Manet's plates from Jeanne Dumont, widow of the engraver Louis Dumont who had bought the plates from Suzanne Manet and printed his own edition of thirty impressions in 1894. Strölin produced a further one hundred impressions of thirty of Manet's etchings before cancelling the plates. Strölin was also the cousin of Richard Gutekunst, an important dealer of etchings in London before the first World War (SO 0038 was bought with a Gutekunst label amongst others on the back of its frame) and whose stock of etchings, including works by Legros and Seymour Haden, was confiscated as enemy property by the British government in 1914.
