This print provided Jacoulet the opportunity to try several innovations in the printing process. As many as 20 separate pressings were used to achieve a graduated effect and other metallic pigments effects.

Pictures: Pictures are taken outdoor, in the shade, to reflect true colors, without any enhancements of any kind. The last picture is taken indoor, with a light behind the print, to reveal the exact paper grain, holes if any, or other possible flaws.
