Label TextThis proof, printed by Sloan, includes notations, in the handwriting of printer Peter Platt, on how the final edition is to be printed. The notes are likely from a meeting with Sloan and reflect the artist's guidance. Platt printed many plates for Sloan (including ones like this that were etched years earlier) between 1927 and 1933.
