Hi!
What's interesting is that either the print is backwards, or it's a
left-handed gurdy (the crank is being turned with the left hand).
That was my initial reaction.
This is a case where you would have to look at the original sketch.
That image is correct ie: representative; it's the right way 'round
(and thank you Colin for finding it!)
Perhaps the negative was reversed?
I was thinking that maybe there's a real artistic scandal here. Maybe
Monet used a camera obscura when he was new...
Or maybe, as Simon suggests, a direct litho.
I thought it was an interesting print :-)
