From iconic Verve Vol. IX No. 35/36 published by Teriade under the title 'The Last Works of Henri Matisse'

The most desirable lithograph produced under Matisse's supervision for a special issue of Verve dedicated to Matisse's paper cut-outs.
These works have been realised by the artist with papers coloured in gouache, cut with scissors and pasted. They are shown here with drawings executed at the same time or during the preceding period. Matisse composed the cover specially for this volume. These lithographic plates were printed during the year 1954 under his direction. The printing of the lithographs in color by Mourlot Freres and that of the photogravure reproductions and the typography by the master printers Draeger Freres, was completed in Paris on the 28th day of July 1958.'
