More InformationIrina Moore told Ann Garrould that during a visit to France in 1930, Moore had bought Japon paper. The diagonal fold lower left on this drawing matches another fold upper right on HMF 788a dated 1930. Given that Moore could have bought Japon paper during an earlier visit to Paris, it has been decided to leave this drawing to the year designated by him when he later signed and dated it.
