英訳を助けてください
Spareという人物の絵に関する説明文なのですが、自分で訳してみたものの、この絵の説明文がspareによる直筆によるものなのか、spare以外の人物の直筆なのかわかりません。この説明文以外に、この絵についてはoriginalではなくreproductionと明記がありました。
自分の訳としては、spareが何か別の他人が書いた絵を元に、同じような絵をspareが描いたものではないかと思います。そのため、spareの直筆ではあるがreproductinになっているのではないかと思います。
以下は、その説明文です。わかる方がいらっしゃれば、この説明文はspareによる直筆という意味かどうかお教えください。お手数ですが宜しくおねがいます。
Original Carbon Copy Drawing of an Austin Osman Spare Pencil Illustration.
This is a great and unusual piece of Austin Osman Spare history, a one off original artifact created in the artists lifetime, by the artist. It is the only 'copy' that exists as far as I'm aware of this wonderful and magickal picture. Please note: The whereabouts of the original pencil illustration is a mystery. This item I'm putting up for auction is an original carbon copy drawing of a what is really a magnificent and very classic picture by Spare titled WALPURGIS NIGHT, produced I believe sometime between late 1940s and the early 1950s. It originates from one of his sketch books and was drawn in the same style as his series of excellent Witches Sabbath artworks. The copy was created by Austin Osman Spare at the time of the drawings conception, and subsequently belonged to Frank Letchford, a close friend, supporter, student and collector of Spare. This carbon copy has been kept safely for many years and remains in great condition. The picture came from Frank Letchford's personal collection released shortly after his death. As you can see in one of the provided JPEGS, there is some old tape still attached to the top of the page. This I believe dates back to Spare's ownership and was how he would've lined up his original drawing paper with the carbon copy paper. There is no signature on this picture but the title is clearly visible on the top right hand corner. SIZE: 6 1/2 " wide by 9" high.
Austin Osman Spare 1886 - 1956, English visionary - artist of the esoteric, surreal and other-worldly.
This is a great opportunity to own an original artifact. I've tried my hardest to reproduce this picture as close to the original as possible. Please note, this picture comes unframed and unmounted. If you have any questions/request further jpegs please don't hesitate to get in touch.
