Description

"Night Moth" was printed from a zinc in 3 states using aquatint, engraving, soft-ground etching and scorper, and then two silkscreens to add color. The first state was the aquatint, one proof was pulled; the second state added engraving and soft-ground texture, also printed in a single proof. The third state added the scorper and the orange and purple silkscreens printed to the zinc plate and offset to the image.

The edition of 300 impressions was printed at Atelier 17 and published in May of 1947 in the publication "Laurels Number One" by the Laurel Gallery, New York on Koichi paper. It was glued to the page at the top corners.
