My Mother, Grau Sala Written on Water No. 3/20 Original Drawing Rejected Plate

  

Written on Water was published in 1908, at the author's expense, in five hundred copies by a Marseille-based publishing house: Le Feu, directed by Émile Sicard. When the verdict signed by Léon Hennique, president of the academy, was announced, only a small dozen of the five hundred copies remained and sold within the hour.
