One of the most famous motifs in Utrillo's work, Le Moulin de la Galette was printed using the refined Jacomet process - a manual stencil technique appreciated for its pictorial fidelity - and published in the deluxe book Le Village Inspiré, Chronique de la Bohème de Montmartre, edited by Jean Vertex. This copy belongs to the choice edition of 170 on Rives vellum, reserved for French Bibliophiles, out of a total print run of 490.
This stencil is an original impression of the first and only edition, not a later reprint.
