The brothers even found it worthwhile to keep a small printing press in an atelier near Picasso's house, enabling the impatient artist to view proofs without delay. From those earlier calls, Crommelynck fully expected to run off proofs of one or possibly two new engravings-all Picasso ever seemed to produce at a time-and be on his way back to Paris in a day or two at most...
