Description: THIS AUCTION IS FOR:: "LA GENERAL JOFFRE L'ALSACE RECONQUISE" TABLEAUX D'HISTOIRE DE FRANCE (LA GUERRE) PUBILIES SOUS LA DIRECTION DE M. ERNEST LAVISSE, LIBRARIE ARMAND COLIN 103 BOULEVARD SAINT MICHEL, PARIS HAND COLORED LITHOGRAPH THIS IS ONE OF 4 SCARCE ORIGINAL FRENCH WORLD WAR 1 PRINTS I AM SELLING THIS WEEK. THEY ALL COME FROM THE COLLECTION OF A LONGTIME WAR PAPER AND POSTER COLLECTOR. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HE BELIEVED THESE WERE ISSUED JUST AFTER THE WAR AS PART OF THE REVISION OF THE FRENCH HISTORY THAT FAMOUS HISTORIAN M ERNEST LAVISSE WAS UNDERTAKING. BEING DONE UNDER LAVISSE SUPERVISION, THESE WOULD HAVE TO BEEN DONE BEFORE HIS PASSING IN 1922. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND OTHER COPIES OF THESE PRINTS BUT CANNOT FIND ANY OUT THERE. A COUPLE SOLD A FEW YEARS AGO BUT I CANNOT FIND ANY OTHERS. NOT EVEN ON FRENCH EBAY. BASED ON THE QUALITY AND IMAGES, I WOULD THINK THAT IF THEY WERE AVAILABLE OUT THERE, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO FIND SOME FOR SALE. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. SEE IF YOU CAN FIND ANOTHER ONE OF THESE HAND COLORED LITHOGRAPHS FROM THE FAMOUS FRENCH HISTORIAN AND PUBLISHER.THE IMAGE MEASURES 24 X 30 1/2 AND IS ON THE COMPLETE SHEET OF 28 3/4 X 35 1/2 INCHES. A GREAT VIEW OF THE EARLY USE OF THIS FAMOUS CANNON USED BY THE FRENCH AND UNITED STATES MILITARY IN THE FIRST WAR. OVERALL THE CONDITION IS EXCELLENT. THE HANDCOLORING ON THE LITHOGRAPH IS SUPERB. REALLY INCREDIBLY STRONG AND VIBRANT AS IT WAS CREATED. THERE ARE SOME EDGE CHIPS AND TEARS ALONG THE MARGINS BUT NOTHING TOO BAD. MINOR SOILING TO THE TOP MARGIN UPPER RIGHT AND A 8" TEAR FROM THE LEFT MARGIN INTO THE IMAGE. IT IS TAPED ON THE BACK AND WHEN FRAMED IT WOULD BASICALLY DISAPPEAR. ALL IN ALL IT IS A WONDERFUL SCARCE PRINT THAT IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY WAR OR PRINT COLLECTOR. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR THE 3 OTHER WORKS FROM THIS SAME COLLECTION. WIN 1,2,3, OR 4 AND THE SHIPPING IS STILL THE SAME. DONT MISS THIS CHANCE. CHECK THE PICTURES ON THIS EXCELLENT PIECE!!! TRULY A SCARCE AND FINE WORK - DONT MISS THIS CHANCE!!! SHIPPING AND HANDLING AND INSURANCE CAN BE CALCULATED. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING SOLD AS IS. PICTURES ARE AN EXCELLENT INDICATION OF CONDITION. CHECK MY FEEDBACK AND YOU WILL SEE THAT MY CUSTOMERS ARE HAPPY. I GENERALLY SHIP ONCE A WEEK SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. IT TAKES TIME TO MAKE SURE ALL OF THIS ART AND ANTIQUES ARRIVE SAFELY.
