HENRI DE TOULOUSE-LAUTREC (1864-1901) L'OEUVRE / ROSMERSHOLM. 1897. 14 3/4x10 7/8 inches, 37 1/2x28 cm. Grande Imprimerie Centrale, Paris. Condition A- / B+: creases and abrasions in margins and image; horizontal fold. Japan. A leaflet announcing two shows at the Thèâtre de l'Oeuvre. Rosmersholm was a work by Henrik Ibsen, translated for this production by Count Prozor, and Le Gage [The Guarantee], by Francois Jourdain. In figuring out how to advertise two plays with a single image Lautrec chose not to depict a scene from either one. Instead he creates an elegant tableau of a petit literary salon in which the imposing, recognizable figure of Francois Jourdain and the less-portly Prozor are engaged in a discussion with a charming woman in her well-appointed parlor. It is the kind of witty caricature unique to Toulouse-Lautrec.Delteil 212II, Wittrock 237, Adriani 234 II, Adhemar 264 II.
