From the rear cover
The plates were first published in 1799. There are still in existence, however, six extremely rare sets of artist's proofs, considered by most who have managed to see them as infinitely superior to the work actually published. Now, for the first time, this edition reproduces one of these sets of 80 prints, together with the "Prado" manuscript, a commentary on the plates. In addition, this collection contains supplementary material to the Los Caprichos series, inlcuding a never-before-published study for Caprichos 10; three unique proofs of plates probably intended for publication with the others; a preliminary drawing for plate I, a self-portrait of Goya (which appears as the frontispiece to this volume); and a unique proof of "Woman in Prison" which may represent an earlier version of Caprichos 32.New 1969 edition of a pre-first-edition proof set in the collection of Mr. Philip Hofer, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in facsimile size, with seven additional plates, making a total of 87 plates. English translation of the "Prado" manuscript and captions by Tomas Harris. Introduction by Mr. Hofer.
