About this work

This is a plain light-beige cover with black text. The words "max ernst" are printed small at the top. Below that, "histoire naturelle" stands out in bold, uneven letters. At the bottom, "1926 paris" is written in a simpler, smaller font. The title *Histoire Naturelle* means "Natural History" in French. This cover is part of a set of prints made using a technique where artists rub textures onto paper. Look up frottage next to see how this process works.
