Oppenheim is best known for her fur-lined cup which has come to symbolize the essence of the Surrealist movement. This rare print references her earlier work through its image of a hoof and hairy face which form a hand-held mirror. From the edition of approximately 2000 published by Letter Edged in Black Press; this example is one of the 100 signed works. Signed and drawn on in crayon to front.
