L'Estampe Moderne. Au pays noir. Lithographie Originale

Original colour lithograph executed specifically by the artist for l'Estampe Moderne. Proof printed on strong laid paper protected by a printed tissue guard, publisher's dry stamp in lower margin. Artist's signature in the plate. Very handsome copy.
Lithograph inspired by an excerpt from Germinal by Emile Zola, of which an extract is reproduced on the print's tissue guard.
Published by Ch. Masson and H. Piazza, the two years of l'Estampe Moderne constitute one of the finest lithographic achievements of the period. Each print is an original work created specifically for the review by the greatest French and foreign artists representing Symbolist, Art Nouveau, Orientalist and "Belle Epoque" movements.
