This woodcut print by Félix Edouard Vallotton, titled "Cover for Paris Intense," depicts a group of Parisians, both male and female, standing in line. The dark, bold lines of the print create a sense of anonymity and social alienation characteristic of Vallotton's work. The figures, clad in simple clothing, are depicted with exaggerated features and minimal detail, contributing to the print's sense of social commentary on urban life. The stark black and white contrast further enhances the print's impact, creating a haunting and memorable image of Parisian life in the late 19th century. The print was originally created as a cover for the magazine "Paris Intense" in 1894.
