Toulouse-Lautrec. The Circus: A Suite of 39 Crayon Drawings. Fantastic folio of beautifully printed crayon drawings by the Toulouse-Lautrec many painted from memory while in a sanatorium for alcoholism. This was a very limited printing of only 1500 (this edition being # 1098) in 1952 for the Paris Book Center, Inc. of New York under the direction and supervision of André Sauret at the presses of Fernand Mourlot in Paris.
All 39 crayon drawings in color are present, the cover and back are also present but the thin paper spine holding the collection is absent. Every print is worthy of display and all but one are in near to mint condition; the one having evidence of handling and a tiny tear.
We note galleries worldwide sell individual prints from this series for $75-$125. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500
