Later Piper wrote how Oliver Simon of Curwen had “encouraged me to reproduce a Miro which had been painted on glass paper, real glass paper, and bound it into Signature.” Only 750 copies were ever printed, using Curwen Press’s unique hand-made version of the French pochoir process, but there is no record of how many were actually sold
