<br/>'The title of this <a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/p/print" title="Glossary definition for 'Print'"><span>print</span></a> is a quotation from Erik Satie. The top image is an enlarged version of a French lemonade bottle label. The words in the lower half were obtained by taking the first reference to music that I could find in Art Monthly (no.39 p.18) which had arrived by post that morning.’ (loc.cit.)
