About the Item

Signed, dated, annotated "epreuve d'artiste"; Annotated on titled "B.B." Edition: 5 (5/5) Part of a set of 4 prints commissioned for a book Childs did with the German writer Bazon Brock entitled D.A.S.E.R.S.C.H.R.E.C..E.N.A.M.S. published by Panderma Verlag Laszlo in Basel in 1960. The engravings were created by the artist using power tools to cut and engrave the copper plate includuing rotary burrs, drills, saws. They were then printed on Childs' press in Paris by the Dutch artist Nono Reinhold, typically in an orangy red ink, although some metallic ink shows up in a few trial proofs and studies. This impression is one of five sets that were kept by Childs who signed and numbered them 1/5 to 5/5.
