M23424: Cancelled plate for Hatching (front endpaper)
PrintsThe image for this print is small, so some details are hard to discern. The print is divided into four equal quadrants. The top left quadrant is full of dense black hatching. The remaining three quadrants have small patches of black hatching, echoing the fill of the upper right section. Two faint equally-sized circles are evenly spaced on each side of the print.
