Description
This is a state proof impression of the engraving "Palais de Justice" by Hecht. It was the seventh image in a series of ten engravings titled "Paris," done in 1933 and issued by the artist as a portfolio. An eleventh, unsigned engraving, "Armoiries" was pasted to the cover of the linen portfolio. The portfolio was published by Hecht in the 8th state in an edition of 90 plus 10 that contained 2 proofs from each of the earlier states. One portfolio also contained all the drawings. This impression is one of the state proofs from around the 6th state. This impression is dated 1935, probably when the portfolio this impression is from was assembled.
