  • Signed: Roger Vieillard
  • inscription: lower left, below plate, graphite, handwritten, in artist's hand: Roger Vieillard AI
  • inscription: middle, below plates, graphite, handwritten, in artist's hand: Ronde de jour / et de nuit
  • inscription: lower right below plate, graphite, handwritten, in artist's hand: 2/5
  • inscription: within the printed area, throughout, graphite, handwritten, in artist's hand: [There are various corrections made to this copy, apparently by the artist, since some of these changes can be seen in the reproduction of a different copy in Hacker's book (particularly the nose of the right-profile figure) (p. 74). For this reason, the Hacker copy seems to be a later state, which might indicate that the rest of the edition follows that print in having the figures reversed relative to our print.
