Note: I have determined, based on the "Summary of Work" portfolios and the emergence of this Monoprint and another like it, that there were three distinct Monoprint types:

1. "Lisson": autobiographical, collage, 1968(see January entries).

2. "Alecto": round, three screen, 1968(see May entries).

3. "Curwen": round, organic, Dieter Roth influenced, 1969(seen above).
