The paper type could not be documented because this work is not in MoMA's Collection and could not be examined in person. The plate dimensions are from the impression in MoMA's Collection. The sheet dimensions were provided by the Louise Bourgeois Studio.

The "w.p." inscription most likely refers to the idea of a "working proof," made during the development of a composition.
