JEAN-ÉMILE LABOUREUR
La Rentrée au Séminaire.

Woodcut printed in black on grayish green wove paper, 1897. 110x110 mm; 4 1/4x4 1/4 inches, full margins. Edition of only approximately 10 (from an intended edition of 15). Signed and inscribed "tiré à 15 ex" in ink, lower right. A superb, dark impression of this very scarce, early woodcut.

We have not found another impression at auction in the past 25 years. Laboureur 566.
