Label TextSloan produced artist's proofs of many of his etchings for the novels of Charles Paul De Kock. These impressions, often with whimsical remarques below the main composition, he gave to friends, exhibited, and sold as independent works of art. Signed and remarqued prints were also included in the most deluxe editions of the books.
