(Folio) original full brown morocco by Arno Werner, the extra suite of plates in a cloth folder, all contained in a quarter brown morocco clamshell box; second suite of plates archivally matted and framed. No. VIII of XXV super de luxe copies, with 2 additional suites of original prints, from an edition limited to 150 copies.
This super de luxe edition includes a double suite of the 6 original etchings (12 total). Each image measures 18.5x12 cm (7¼x4¾") on sheet 28.5x20 cm (11¼x8"). The etchings depict "Warlock", "Witch", two "Majas" and two "Smugglers". The three double-sided copper plates from which these plates were printed passed from Goya‘s grandson Mariano to John Savile Lumley, then to Colnaghi, from whom Philip Hofer acquired them in the 1930s. He, in turn, gave them to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, after the present edition of 150 sets had been printed by David Godine. No further prints will ever be pulled from these plates.
