Note that this print is an artist’s proof, an experimental stage of the printmaking process. You can see a similar proof of a related image on irvingamen.com, next to an example from the regular edition. Oddly, those prints are listed as lithographs, a designation that seems incorrect or at least incomplete. It may be that Amen used a lithographic stone to produce the background yellow, and etching for the primary image. We do know that he sometimes combined linocut and etching in such a way.
