Notes:
[1] Two E-mails dated November 21 and November 23, 2005 from Andrea Heesemann at the auction house Karl & Faber to SLAM researcher Sydney Norton indicate that the print was consigned to the auction house by Mr. Efrath, a Munich furrier. Mr. Efrath no longer belongs to Karl & Faber's list of clients. However, according to Ms. Heesemann, it is possible that Mr. Efrath acquired the print from Galerie Günther Franke in Munich [SLAM document files].
