This trial version has slight staining and scorching, which is commonly found in the old fabrics Bourgeois chose to use as printing surfaces. - Curatorial Remarks:
- In deciding the font size, layout, and sheet size for this text page in "Ode à l'oubli," Bourgeois made trial versions. She also made trial versions for the cover and the other text page within the book.
