FAQ

Is this an original Salvador Dalí edition?

Yes. La Linotype (1975) is an authentic drypoint etching with stencil coloring, published as part of Dalí’s renowned Hommage à Léonardo da Vinci portfolio. This example is an artist’s proof (E.A.), making it rarer and more desirable than the standard edition.

Is the work hand-signed by Dalí?

What does “E.A.” mean?
