One of 95 copies issued without the additional suite on vellum, the set was published by Galleria Schwarz in Milan and presented in original paper covers with elegant white fabric-covered boards, a printed spine, and a Plexiglas slipcase. This meticulously produced limited edition stands as both a significant art historical document and a collectible artifact in its own right.
