Dimensions: +Sheet size: 44 x 50.5 cm +Image size: 36 x 44 cm Condition: In good overall condition, with slight creasing at the edges and minor staining in the margins. Paper slightly curled, a few notable light creases to upper corners. Very clean image otherwise, with beautiful colors. Published by L'Estampe Nouvelle, an art print publication founded by Eugène Rodrigues-Henriques (known as Erastène Ramiro) and Roger Marx in 1897, for just 50 subscribers at the time. Each print run never exceeded 65 proofs, including 50 copies for L'Estampe Nouvelle subscribers, and only ten copies for the public. Consequently, all works on paper and etching were very rare. This work by Richard Ranft was published in July 1899. A collector's item! Referenced in Bailly-Herzberg #272 & #355.
