From the "Album Stols": in 1927, Nel Wouters, realising that few copies of her husband's work existed, decided to make posthumous prints using the coppers plates she possessed. Fifty-two albums with 30 engravings on Japan paper were published, all with a stamp with Nel's face (called "stamp with the mask"). No states known.
