COVER BY HENRI DE TOULOUSE-LAUTREC (1864-1901) CATALOGUE D'AFFICHES ARTISTIQUES / A. ARNOULD. Complete catalgoue. 1896. 9 1/4x5 3/4 inches, 23 1/2x14 1/2 cm. A. Arnould, Paris. Condition B+: foxing on covers and throughout inside pages; time-staining along edges of cover; wear along spine. In box. Lautrec's lithograph entitled Débauché was also used by the prominent Parisian print and poster dealer A. Arnaud as the cover for one of his catalogues (with text that did not appear on the first state of the lithograph). The print run was limited to only 100 copies. The ribald image was hardly what one would expect to see on the cover of catalogue, but is a classic Lautrec image, both for its subject matter and because a friend of his is depicted as the driving force of this lascivious scene. Wittrock 167 II, Adriani 187 III, Affichomanie 9.
