*Catalogue Entry #: For numbering used in other catalogues, see below.
- The Pierre Matisse Gallery Catalogue # =13.
**Title:
- The Spanish title appears in the artist's hand in pencil, on at least one impression, beneath the plate mark, l.l. (See fig.1 below.)
- The only known impressions bearing titles in the artist's hand for Madrid Series prints are in the Hemingway Collection and carry their titles l.l. where the numbering normally appears.
- BNE uses "[Cafetin en Lloret]" (a small café in Lloret)
- The Pierre Matisse Gallery Catalogue uses the Spanish "Cafetín [small café] en Lloret."
- On another impression, the English title, "Mediterranean Sailors," appears at the bottom of the sheet in an undetermined hand, probably added for the AAA exhibition of 1939.
- Burdett 270 uses the English derived from the French "An Estaminet" (a small café).
- The English, "Café, Lloret de Mar," at the top of this page is our translation of Quintanilla's title and does not appear on any impression.
Setting: Lloret de Mar is a seaside town on the Mediterranean very close to Barcelona. At least two other prints in the Madrid series are set in Lloret de Mar: "Mister Morgan -- Lloret de Mar." and Sardana en Lloret de Mar.
****Medium: A final determination for the medium has not been made.
- For a discussion of the factors involved, visit the "Medium" section of "Using This Catalogue Raisonné."
***Date: "1933" follows the title on one impression (See Fig. 1. below.) This catalogue accepts this as the date of the print, though it could be read as part of the title.
*****Edition:
- The BNE catalogue describes its impression as hand written in pencil "n° 1 de 7".
- Another impression is numbered, "No. 6," l.l., but untitled and undated. (See Fig. 2 below.)
- Ruperez typically printed ten or fewer (most commonly 7-10) of Quintanilla's Madrid Series prints, often including at least one or more unnumbered impressions. (No record exists of more than two unnumbered impressions of any of the Madrid prints.)
- The Hemingway Collection typically includes one unnumbered impression bearing a title instead of the number, l.l. (See Fig. 1 below.)
