Notes

**Title, Date and Signature : Frivolity is the title as it appeared on the AAA label. (See below.)

Typically Associated American Artists (AAA) published prints were signed in pencil but otherwise without further pencil annotation; however, in the case of this print, at least on one impression, the date appears in pencil as well. (See below.)

***Medium: The type of intaglio process (or processes) used is yet to be determined; however, drypoint is the medium Quintanilla worked in most commonly previous to the time of the making of this print and is present here, at least in part.

****Edition: AAA records show an edition of 12 (Windisch), a very small edition for AAA published prints, which were typically published in editions of 250, leaving reason to doubt the accuracy of this AAA record; however, as of now, this is the only data available.
