Fabric backed Color lithograph ("Divan Japonais" 1892-3) after Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. This cafe-concert poster depicts Jane Avril and Yvette Guilbert at the famed Montmartre venue. Noted as the only Toulouse-Lautrec poster to feature both muses, it remains one of his most iconic designs. Catalogued in Delteil 341, Adhemar 11, Adriani 8.
Auctioneers Note: The paper lithograph is mounted on fabric (linen?). The paper does show some deterioration which can be seen by close examination of the lower right corner. We partially opened the back, but did not risk complete removal from the works mountings.
