Hmm, maybe you haven't caught up with the rest of the discussion;   
the print in the Chicago show was from the Met's collection, the  
middle print on the page I posted, the one that looks just brown in  
the jpeg.   I doubt the jpeg (from the Met's site) does it justice,  
but it's interesting how little the present reproduction matches past  
descriptions of the print.
