EDITION: From Wittrock’s only state of 1893 with the Republique Française inkstamp. CONDITION: A very good impression with rich, bold color, trimmed slightly within the image at the bottom and left.   DISCUSSION: Exploding from the sheet are incredibly deep, rich reds that Toulouse-Lautrec has become known for.  His excellence is exhibited here, with a visually appealing and cleverly designed poster advertising this work by Abbé Faure.  His graphic eye and skill with integrating text and image made Toulouse-Lautrec one of the greats who pioneered early concepts of graphic design.  In addition, he never fails to wholeheartedly portray expressive and moving characters in his works, whose struggles, heartache, and inner turmoil are always evident.  The grand scale of this piece is not to be ignored as it only aids in fully immersing its viewers within the animated and wondrous world of Toulouse-Lautrec’s whimsical, creative mind.   Created in 1893, this work features Toulouse-Lautrec’s black monogram stamp in the stone in the lower left.  It was printed by Chaix (Atelier Chéret), Paris and published for the magazine, Le Matin, with the memoirs of Abbé Faure titled Au pied de l’échafaud.  Featuring Chaix’s name and address in the lower left corner, this lithograph has been printed in five colors: gray green, brown, dark green, red, and black with margins all around.  Also note this print has extensive provenance and exhibition history.    PROVENANCE: - Isselbacher Gallery, New York | April, 1979 - Ira A.
