This example is hand-marked as an original Artist?s Proof (E.A.).
The justification page bears the handwritten note: “exemplaire faisant partie de notre collection ”signed with initials, confirming that this set originates directly from the Rigal Atelier collection.
As an atelier Artist’s Proof retained by Rigal, this set represents an early, non-commercial pull, produced for internal reference and quality control. Such proofs are documented as exhibiting cleaner line work, deeper burr, and stronger chromatic intensity compared to standard edition copies, characteristics visible across all ten plates.
A rare and fully documented Rigal atelier E.A., bibliographically recorded and directly linked to the original production.
