This is a vintage lithograph print from the set printed in 1951 by Mourlot Freres of Paris. Original poster artwork by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Printed on superb quality paper; colors are bright and crisp. SIZE: Approx. 9 1/2" x 12 1/2". Arthur Huc, art collector and editor of 'La Depeche' had already used one of Lautrec's earlier posters successfully (Le Pendu) This time he is advertising a serialization of the novel, 'The Warning bell' (Le Tocsin)by Jules de Gastyne in his publication, seen here is the rare version before the addition of letters. Toulouse-Lautrec strikes the perfect note for the gothic romance, with the pale heroine followed by a dejected dog strolling through the gloom of the night, with the forbiddingly austere walls of a castle behind her. Sometimes called 'La Chatelaine' (the Lady of the Manor), it evokes an eerie moonlit atmosphere through which a woman walks as if in a trance. A bell just beneath the moon, the deep forest, and ghostly dog complete a scene of mystery. ****** We provide in-house shipping. Low shipping costs! Combine items to save even more!
