Sixty-six etchings were printed by 1939 in Maurice Potin’s studio under the artist’s supervision; the remaining 39 were produced in collaboration with Chagall in Raymond Haasen’s studio from 1952 to 1956.” (Sprengel, Bottrop Cat. 1982, p. 168). - “Since the spirit and the world of the Bible occupy a large place within me, I try to express them as well. It is important to depict the elements of the world that are not visible, rather than to reproduce nature in its outward appearances.” (quoted from Schmalenbach/Sorlier, Sprengel, Cat. Bottrop 1982, p. 168). A few pages with some foxing in the margins, only sporadically in the margins of one etching.
