"This drawing of a hanged man was prepared to advertise a novel,
'Les Dramas de Toulouse' (by A. Siegel), serialized in the Toulouse-based
newspaper, La Depeche (commissioned by it's it's director Arthur Huc).
It was first printed in 1892 and placed in the middle of a text-filled
poster, the lettering having been added by another artist. Then in
1895, with Lautrec's popularity on the ascendance, the publisher brought
out this special, limited edition (30) for collectors"(Rennert,
PAI-XI,418B)
During the 1960s the renowned French printer, Mourlot Freres, printed
this superb series "Les Affiches de Toulouse-Lautrec"
for collectors. They are reduced lithographic versions of Lautrec's
most famous works. They are truly the most beautiful printing we
have been able to find in this size format.
As vintage printings of Lautrec's work, in all formats, reach high
prices, this mid-century printing offers a superb alternative at
a reasonable price that will only appreciate in value.
