Catalogue raisonné author Creekmore Fath notes an edition of 500 for this particular print, but our research indicates that many fewer - under 30 - have been offered at auction. This suggests a much smaller edition was actually realized by Benton.

Good overall condition; some slight margin toning; not examined out of frame.
