Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) Mahna No Varua Ino (The Devil Speaks). 1893-1894. Woodcut. 355 x 201 [410 x 270]. Guérin 34; Mongan, Kornfeld and Joachim 19 IV between D and E. Fine trial proof in black on flying chine, between the Roy color print and the print made by Pola Gauguin in 1921, before the horizontal and vertical demarcation lines in the subject (which appear in the 1921 print and are due to a disassociation of the assembled pieces making up the wood block), a thin white line beginning to appear horizontally across the figures on the right and another across the word "Ino". Fine oblique print crease above the word "Mahna". Some light foxing. Traces of folds and small tears at the edges of the folio, including a small loss at the upper right edge. Good margins.
