MIHALY BIRÓ (1886-1948)

UNICUM ZWACK. 1918.


49¼x36½ inches, 125x92¾ cm.
Condition B+: repaired tears at edges, some affecting image; archival tape on verso; creases, abrasions and restoration in margins and image and along vertical and horizontal folds. Mounted on Japan.

In a style which can only be compared to Leonetto Cappiello's (see Veuve Amiot, 1922), Biro presents a resplendent monarch, light on his heels, carrying an oversized bottle of Hungary's beloved, unofficial national liqueur up a flight of stairs.
