This stunning original woodblock print by the renowned French artist Paul Jacoulet (1902-1960) features the whimsical title 'Une Histoire Tres Drole, Mongols.' It is a limited-edition piece, pencil-signed by Jacoulet and stamped with his red fan seal, ensuring its authenticity. The reverse side is marked with the edition number 'No. 53 / 350,' confirming its status as part of a recognized limited run. Crafted with care, the print showcases the mastery of Jacoulet, who blended traditional ukiyo-e techniques with a unique Western style, resulting in vibrant colors and intricate details. The right margin also bears the seals of master carver Maeda Kentaro and printer Onodera, Jacoulet's trusted artisans. Notably, this work has significant toning and discoloration due to age, most prominently in the margins, which adds to its character. Despite some minor wear and a small loss at the bottom right corner, the printed image remains vibrant and unfaded, with no creases or major damage. A true collectible for art enthusiasts, this woodblock print not only embodies Jacoulet's artistic genius but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of his subjects, often inspired by his travels across Asia and the South Pacific.
