***Medium: Although Associated American Artists (AAA), the publisher of this print, calls Garden Boy a drypoint, it is highly unusual to find a drypoint in an edition of 250. The explanation for such a large drypoint edition has yet to be determined.

- One observed impression (not pictured) is inscribed in pencil, l.l. "State Proof n°2."
