etched on the plate in the form "15 mai 90" [i.e. 15 June 1890?]
This impression of the print was bought by Henry S. Wellcome from Gachet's son, Paul Louis Gachet, in 1927, together with many other items of Gachet personalia. The cat in the bottom margin is the stamp certifying the print's provenance from Paul-Ferdinand and Paul-Louis Gachet.
Etched on plate "15 Mai 90". Written by hand in brown ink on the verso apparently in the hand of Paul-Louis Gachet: "L'homme à la pipe (Dr Gachet). Eau-forte unique de Vincent Van Gogh Auvers 25 Mai 1890" and signed in ink by the same hand "Paul Gachet". Wellcome Collection numbers inscribed in pencil on verso "PD 127-1-1" and on recto "1064.1"
Bought by Henry S. Wellcome from Gachet's son, Paul Louis Gachet.
