Description
Charlot's 8th print, done in France. Ex-collection of his old friend, author Dorothy Rhoads; with a letter from Peter Morse regarding this print. Charlot noted: "I was in Orleans with the army before we were sent to the front. I wanted to make a multiple image for the men of our company. Technically I didn't know what I was doing. I went to a printer who handed me this mysterious paper and mysterious ink. He said he could reproduce a drawing made that way, by transfer. I never saw the stone. Then later I added color by hand, sort of a stencillike folk style.." Though this impression is editioned 81/100 Morse states in a letter: "He (Charlot) also clearly remebered that he had planned 100 in the edition but could only afford about 20. Maybe the printer did the numbering out of sequence. It doesn't look like JC's writing."
