From the 1896 Affiches Illustrees version of this famous Lautrec poster. A fine example red, yellow, olive, and black. An image of one of Lautrec's favorite Montmartre dancers and closest friends.   Transcribed in 1896 from Lautrec's 1893 full size poster designed to publicize the famous dancer Jane Avril at the Jardin de Paris. The original poster was one of several of Lautrec's works that charted a bold new direction in posters and was very popular in Paris. In this scene, Jane Avril is performing a popular dance considered by some at the time to be vulgar. This image was published in the monthly series Les Affiches Illustrees, a collection of small format poster images for collectors. This series was published in 1896 by Imprimerie Chaix and printed by Imprimerie Eugene Verneau in Paris. Edition Size is 1,025. Many of these have not survived in good condition; many have not survived at all. Even though this is a lifetime impression, since artisans at Imprimirie Chaix did the transcribing of the large poster onto a smaller stone, this is technically an "after" Lautrec.   - Title:  Jane Avril - Year of publication:  1896 - Edition size:  ~1,025 - Image size:  8-3/4 inches H x 6-1/4 inches W (22.2 cm x 15.9 cm) - Sheet size:  12-1/2 inches H x 8-3/4 inches W (32 cm x 22 cm) - Framed size:  21-1/2 inches H x 18-1/2 inches W (55 cm x 47 cm)   Elegantly framed in dark wood frame with gold and red highlights that complement the image.
