Rodolphe Bresdin (1822–1885) Branches. Circa 1880. Etching. 120 x 170 [212 x 305 mm]. Van Gelder 146. A very fine and fresh print on Japanese paper, made before the copper plate was reduced (the subject was engraved on the reverse side of the copper plate for *La Mère et la Mort*, Van Gelder 104). All margins are untrimmed. AABM stamp (Lugt 3075). Printed for the first copies of an unpublished book dedicated to Rodolphe Bresdin. No earlier proofs of this print are known to exist. The copper plate was later reduced to 85 x 122 mm. "It is possible that Bresdin never made any proofs of this fantasy, sometimes also called *Le Rosier*. " (Dirk van Gelder, Rodolphe Bresdin, vol. II, Catalogue Raisonné of the Engraved Works, The Hague: M. Nijhoff and Paris: Éditions du Chêne, 1976, p. 144).
