Inscribed "Probedruck" and signed in pencil, and further inscribed below. With margins of 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches. In excellent condition. Rare, possibly unique. Schwartz's version B, measuring 6 5/8 x 4 3/4 inches, 168 x 120 mm., shows the head down to just below the breasts. It was published in an edition of 50 signed and numbered copies.
