Observations

Although it was published with the title "Le signe gazeaux" in the feature article on Dalí in the magazine "Paris-Match" in 1984, this work is known as "The Gaseous Swan". We believe the error to be due to a slip in the transcription of the title. (Marie-France Saurat, "Les Dalí inconnus", Paris-Match, March 9, 1984, p. 98).
