Babylon), Original Color Lithograph, Featuring Artist's Monogram Stamp</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">ARTIST: Henri Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901)<br> TITLE: Babylone d'Allemagne (German Babylon), 1894<br> MEDIUM: Original Color Brush and Spatter Lithograph<br> IMAGE SIZE: 47" x 33.27" (120cm x 84.5cm)<br> SHEET SIZE: 49.4" x 35" (125.5cm x 89cm)<br> FRAMED SIZE: approx. 60" x 45" (152.4cm x 114.3cm)<br> SIGNATURE: Signed in the stone 'HTLautrec' and dated in the lower left. Features the signature monogram stamp of Toulouse-Lautrec (Lugt 1338) in the lower left with printer's name and address in lower left margin. <br> EDITION: A state B impression printed in olive-green, yellow, red, and black with text added in dark blue.<br> CONDITION: This work is in very good condition, a fine dark impression with bold colors throughout; remnants of folds and some markings at sheet edges, not affecting image.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">DISCUSSION:<br> This is a somewhat satirical and sarcastic portrayal of the "German Babylon," referenced in Victor Joze's novel of the same title. Toulouse-Lautrec was commissioned to illustrate this series of tales on the government of Germany during the late 1800s. Causing a controversy and international stir upon its release, the novel was recognized by the Parisian artists at the time. Toulouse-Lautrec has transformed the viewer into part of this street scene, overlooking a seemingly lively parade full of pomp and circumstance exhibited by the German army. Here, a German officer is riding past on his majestic white horse, as the magnificence of the crowd and surrounding officers are seen in the background.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Created in 1894, this work is signed by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864 - 1901) in the stone and also dated in the lower left. Features his signature monogram stamp (Lugt 1338) just below his hand signature. Printed by Chaix, its name and address is featured along the lower left margin. According to Wittrock, this is the State B impression from the key stone printed in olive-green; color stones include yellow, red, and black with additional stone in dark blue for the added text. Commissioned by Polish writer, Victor Joze and is featured in 21 public collections including the Kunsthalle in Bremen, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ & COA: It is fully documented and referenced in the below catalogue raisonnés and texts (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that will accompany the final sale of the work):</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">1.
