Reference
Norman Lindsay Etchings: Catalogue Raisonné (Odana Editions and Josef Lebovic Gallery, 1999, cat.202)
Two editions of this image, from the same plate, were issued. Norman etched the first edition (above) which showed a female figure on the left. In this etching Norman believed that the focus was in two places - both on the nude to the left and also to the centre where the Dream Dwarf commands the attention of the surrounding women. Norman later felt that the focus should only be at the centre of the etching and so reworked the plate and changed the female on the left to a curtain. It is extremely hard to rework a plate in this manner but Norman considered his second edition worthy of publishing and so Rose printed fifty original etchings of the second edition. An original etching of the first edition is exceptionally rare as only six sprints were pulled.
