- Published by Waddington Graphics in an edition of 88, plus 9 Artist's Proofs. The collotype was printed by the artist and Heinz Häfner at Eberhard Schreiber, Stuttgart and the screenprint was printed at Frank Kicherer, Stuttgart.
The original source for the image was a postcard of the lobby of the Hotel Europa, Berlin, sent to Hamilton by the artist Dorothy Iannone (b.1933). Hamilton first used it to make a collaged watercolour.
