Reine de Joie Color Lithograph
1896 lithograph in colors on wove paper after
Toulouse-Lautrec. A lifetime impression. Transcribed signature left edge below center. A fine example in olive,
red, yellow, and black.
Transcribed in 1896 from Lautrec's 1892 full size poster designed to publicize a notorius novel by Victor Joze,
titled Reine de joie, moeurs du demi-monde. In this scene, the gold-digging herione, Helene Roland plants a
kiss on the fat banker, Olizac. This image was published in the monthly series Les Affiches Illustrees, a collection
of small format poster images for collectors.
The series was published in 1896 by Ernest Maindron and printed
by Imprimerie Eugene Verneau in Paris. Edition Size is 1,050. Many of these have not survived in as good condition as
this one; many have not survived at all. Even though this is a lifetime impression, since artisans at Imprimirie Verneau did
the transcribing of the large poster onto a smaller stone, this is technically an "after" Lautrec.
