GEORGES LEFEVRE (1876-1953) GALERIES ARTISTIQUES. 1900. 25 1/2x14 3/4 inches, 65x37 1/2 cm. Boisselet, Caen. Condition B+ / B: creases and wrinkles in margins and image; minor repaired tears at edges. Little is known about Georges Lefevre who, based on his four known posters, worked in Caen (in Normandy) for local printing houses. Not to be confused with Lucien Lefevre, who was a disciple of Cheret, Georges Lefevre's style is more in keeping with the work of Georges Deffeure. But de Feure is not the only influence here. One is also reminded of Toulouse Lautrec's l'Estampe Originale with a woman pulling a freshly printed image off a press, Steinlen is represented via the depiction of the cats, and Camille Martin's image for l'Estampe Originale is invoked with its depiction of a press and vines.
