Notes:
Title from catalogue raisonné.
Comstock and Fletcher number: 304.
From catalogue raisonné: Demonstration block, few proofs. "Benson stood over me while I did that," the artist remembered. "There were a lot of us demonstrating. We each had a room. John Arms was giving a lecture upstairs. Dorothy Arms came in with Benson. As they came in, somebody said 'Shhh.' Dorothy said, 'I'm so easily shhhed that I came downstairs.' I was over in a corner. Benson was fascinated. He'd never seen a copper engraving done before."
From supporting material: Demonstration at Marblehead Arts Association.
Handwritten on housing: 1940, Big Do, In Honor of Benson.
