Cover for L’Estampe originale, Album I, publiée par les Journal des Artistes 1893

This 1893 lithograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, titled “Cover for L’Estampe originale, Album I, publiée par les Journal des Artistes,” depicts a scene of a printing press with a woman examining a sheet of paper. The vibrant colors and bold lines are characteristic of Lautrec’s style, which often captured the vibrancy of Parisian life. The woman’s large hat and flowing cloak, along with the industrial setting, create a dynamic and visually engaging composition, further emphasizing the artist’s interest in the social and cultural landscape of his time. This lithograph, like many of Lautrec’s works, is a prime example of Art Nouveau, a style that embraced organic and decorative elements.
