At last years Asian Art show in New York, a dealer
showed 3 or 4 Jacoulet prints without Jacoulet's signature
or the seal usually adjacent to the signature.
These very clean prints were said to have been put
up for sale by Jacoulet's printer (I think it was Maeda).
I did not have an opportunity to look for watermarks.
Whether they were actually printed at the time of the
original printing, or subsequently, I, of course, cannot say.
Nor is it clear whether these were printed with Jacoulet's
approval or without his knowledge. Permission to print these
extra copies could have been part of Maeda's payment, but why
would Jacoulet not have signed them?
