Footnotes
"This was inspired by the cyclists of the Tour de Suisse, one of the first races of its kind, climbing the alpine Klausenpass near the artist's home in Schwanden... Prints from the same edition are found in two variant forms: early (low-numbered) impressions appear with a decorative border that frames the image, while later (high-numbered) impressions contain no such border, which was removed from the block in 1965".
Stephen Coppel, "Linocuts of the Machine Age", Scholar Press, London, 1995, p139
