The 101 wood engravings for the "Divine Comedy" were executed over a 14 year period from 1951 to 1964. From 1951 to 1960, Dali painted the 101 watercolors which were used as studies for the wood engravings. From 1960 to 1964, Raymond Jacquet created the more than 3,000 wood blocks which were necessary for the complete "Divine Comedy" with the participation and final approval of Salvador Dali for each of the 101 engravings.
Paypal payment due within three days of the close of the auction. The print will be shipped by USPS priority mail unless buyer arranges otherwise. I will be happy to combine shipping for multiple purchases provided one payment is made for all items and they are shipped together to the same address.
