Technique and Support (Very important):

Edition information and context:
Rare and coveted canvas edition of Dalí’s most famous optical work, published in Spain in 1988 by the official managing entity "Distribucions d'art surrealista S.A." with authorization from the Martin Lawrence Collection. The canvas print gives a painterly texture and a visual presence far superior to typical paper editions, making it a high-impact piece for luxury interiors and decor. The famous double visual effect (Gala up close / Abraham Lincoln at 20 meters) is spectacularly evident thanks to the canvas weave.

Printer’s imprint and inscriptions:
The work features the entire editorial text block intentionally printed "upside down" in the lower margin, a typically Dalinian wink to mirror-reading.
