- Curator's comments
- This version was printed in black only without the additional stencilling found in Glenn 152. It was printed by Charles Levine at Aripeko Ltd Editions and published by Multiples Inc, New York. The Chinese characters jokingly label the wrong geometric form; the characters denoting 'square' appear in the triangle at left, 'triangle' in the circle at centre, and 'circle' in the square at right (information from Anne Farrer, Curator, Oriental Antiquities Dept).
