The Salvador Dali La Femme Visible etching is contained in the book of the same title. Salvador Dali wrote the book and it was published in 1930. Editions Surrealistes, A Paris published the book. It was written at a time when Dali was beginning his rise in the surrealistic movement. This movement was taking place in Paris.
