- Curator's comments
- The set of fifty etchings was published by Bracelli himself in Livorno in 1624 with a dedication to Pietro Medici. Sets are excessively rare: the only complete one is in the Library of Congress (Rosenwald collection, whence the numbering of the plates is derived), and eight incomplete sets are listed by Alain Brieux ('Bracelli - Bizarrie', Paris 1963). The BM only has 32 of the plates, that were presented in two groups by Dodgson in 1910 and 1928. The series was 'rediscovered' by Tristan Tzara, and the first modern essay was published by Kenneth Clark in 'Print Collectors' Quarterly' in October 1929, pp.310-26.
