AFFICHE AVANT LA LETTRE.
Circa 1898.
Manzi Joyant, Paris.
841/4x521/2 inches.
- Notes: This could very well be the best poster Misti ever designed. If it were much smaller it would certainly be considered a fine-art print. This depiction of an elegant lady contemplating a delicate piece of lace must have certainly been designed for a luxury store. What is intriguing about this poster is that Misti usually published under his own name, or used one of the major publishers in Paris, but this poster was published by Manzi Joyant, two close acolytes of Toulouse-Lautrec (Joyant eventually inherited the rights to Lautrec's works, which he donated to the museum in Albi). The two friends had recently purchased the Goupil Gallery operations in Paris and they also printed some of Lautrec's last works!
- Condition: Condition B+: repaired tears, overpainting and discoloration along vertical and horizontal folds.
