Located in London, GB
This complete set of fifty etchings, aquatints and drypoints are each hand signed by the artist "Edgar Chahine" at the lower left margins.
The folio was printed by A. Routy, Paris and published by Sagot, Paris in 1906.
The justification page is additionally hand signed in ink by the artist “Edgar Chahine” and the paper type is handwritten “Hollande”.
The impression is numbered in ink from the edition of 75 on the justification page. Each of the 50 plates are hand numbered in pencil to reflect their sequence and refers to the titles on the justification page.
Note: In 1906 the Fiancé of Chahine Mary Jacobsen died and the artist lost all love for life. His friend and publisher Sagot send him to Venice, Umbria and Toscana for distraction. Edgard Chahine returned with a sensitive group of etchings from the Italian countryside.
