Masson did this etching to accompany a poem by Paul Eluard titled "November 1936" for inclusion in the portfolio Solidarité, published by S.W. Hayter and Atelier 17 in Paris in 1938. The portfolio of seven prints was sold to aid the Spanish Republican Children's Fund cause during the Spanish Civil War and included works by Picasso, Joan Miro, Yves Tanguy, John Buckland Wright, Dalla Husband, S.W. Hayter and Andre Masson. For more information on the artist, please see our biography, above.
