1939, Lithograph., . 12 1/2 x 9 3/4 in. Published by San Lazzaro in 1939 for XXe Siecle (No. 5-6). A later edition was issued by XXe Siecle in 1959, but this is the original, first edition Max Ernst print. Sheet size 12 1/2 x 9 3/4 inches (320 x 245 mm). Signed and titled in the stone (not by hand).
Condition note: there are six pinholes along the left edge of the sheet -- this is from the publisher's original binding staples, and also serves to demonstrate the provenance of this piece.
