*Title: Typically AAA prints were signed in pencil but without further pencil annotation; Alfredo is the title as it appeared on the AAA label.
**Date: 1943 is the date this print was published by Associated American Artists (Windisch), not necessarily (though probably), the date it was created by the artist.
***Medium: Although Quintanilla's most commonly employed intaglio printmaking technique was drypoint, which was his sole technique for prints made in Spain, Associated American Artists, the publisher of this print, labeled Aflredo an etching. Our examination reveals etched lines along with a working of the plate either through the ground or directly onto the metal with a stipple tool or even a drypoint needle. (See detail immediately below.)
****Edition: Typically (but with some exceptions), AAA editions were, as here, 250 impressions.
Impressions outside the Edition: At least one impression is unsigned, hence outside the AAA edition.
*****Signature: All observed impressions are initialed in the plate, l.l.. Impressions, as typical for AAA editions are signed in pencil, lower right, just below the plate mark. (See details below.)
