Don Quixote |
|
Dali was
commissioned by the Swiss publisher Jean Schneider to produce a
print edition based on historically interesting Spanish figures,
both real and fictitious. They were Cervantes, Don Quixote, El Cid,
El Greco and
Velasquez. The Five Spanish
Immortals , was published in
1965. In 1968, The collectors Guild, published another
edition, an unlimited and unsigned edition. To distinguish between
the two editions, Dali scratched his name within each of the five
plates. The print you see here has Dali's name etched within the
plate. Because no one knows exactly how many of these were made,
they command a lesser value than those signed by Dali in pencil, out
side the etching.
This is a view of Dali's signature,
inside the etching .

Dali's
original etching (below) is now in an impressive solid wood frame,
carved with a Latin flair. The work is double matted with white on
white, as to not distract from the work, and is ready for hanging.
It's certificate of authentication, from The Collectors Guild,
remains in place on the back of the Work, just as it was prior to
reframing.
