Description
The Armingtons traveled extensively through out Europe and North Africa. This image is from 1920 Paris, Rue de Beauvais, with the Chartres Cathedral in the background.
The raisonné entry reads: "One print was pulled from each of the first three states. One trial proof (epreuve d'essai) was given to Frank (her husband), and one print from the fourth state was given to the Library of Congress. Ten proofs were numbered 1/10 - 10/10. In January 1925 the signature was added, and six prints (numbered 1 to 6) resulted. The plate was crossed (cancelled) with four prints (numbered 1 to 4) pulled.
