The work is a 13"x10.5" lithograph printed in sanguine ink on paper. The lithograph is by Toulouse-Lautrec, and can be identified by the title "A Ménilmontant de Bruant, from Yvette Guilbert.”. The image was originally created in 1898 as part of an album dedicated to Yvette Guilbert. The original album was published by the French and English Bliss and Sands Co. The images were reprinted and published in 1930, after the artist’s death. The subject work is comparable to the 1930 edition but was published by Leicester Galleries.from the original stone used by Lautrec in 1898. The subject work hand numbered 67/82 in pencil along the bottom margin.

Hello Lyons,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The item presented appears to be stone lithograph designed by Henri de Toulouse Lautrec (French, 1864-1901). The image is part of the "Yvette Guilbert" folio. You have done your research. This print appear to be from the second edition of the folio published by Leicester Galleries. They published two runs in 1930, one in lavender, one in sepia. It appears both editions were of 82. The edition to the margin of your print was placed by an unknown hand. Other examples do not have the edition noted on the margin of the prints, only the folio.
The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this work and other comparable posthumous lithographs after Toulouse Lautrec. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
