Original lithography for the play
L'Argent by émile Fabre
Imprimerie Eugène Verneau | Paris [1895] | 23.5 x 31.5 cm | one leaf
Original print by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec created for the production of émile Fabre's play entitled L'Argent, first performed on 5 May 1895 at the Théâtre Antoine-Simone Berriau (then called Théâtre des Menus-Plaisirs). First edition of the poster, that will be published several years later in a small format with white borders.
Very rare and beautiful lithography of the highest quality, printed in six colors on vellum paper.
This work of rare symbolist intensity subtly hints at Fabre's bourgeois satire through the roughly sketched silhouettes of his two main characters.
Embodying the paradigm of the modern poster, Toulouse-Lautrec's prints today enjoy wide recognition and are very much sought after.
