Object history
E.806-885-1963, under Prints and Drawings in this list, were formerly in the collection of Dr. Rosa Schapire, and of these the proofs of woodcuts made prior to 1924 were part of the material for her catalogue of Schmidt-Rottluff's graphic work. The Victoria and Albert Museum Library also has a collection of examples of the artist's typographical work, bequeathed by Dr. Schapire in 1955.

A proof from the original plate, with only the first part of the lettering completed, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum Library, and an impression of the finished plate before cutting is in the Department of Prints and Drawings, E.705-1955.
