Scope and Contents

This might be one of the greatest multiples ever assembled. It provides a sampling of Ben's work up until its time of publication. Although the edition called for 100 copies, it is thought that the number is much less. It was lent to the Frost Art Museum in Miami for an exhibition, Tour de France, Florida Collectors of French Art. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
