Description
PIERRE GUASTALLA (1891–1968): a series of personalised greeting cards sent by the artist (a French painter, engraver and illustrator, and founder of the group *La Jeune Gravure Contemporaine) in the early 1950s. Original engravings (etchings or drypoint 11 ) printed on greeting cards made of heavy-weight/vatted paper, numbered and initialled/signed by hand (initials ‘P.G.’ or signature ‘Guastalla’). The cards date precisely from the period 1950 to 1953 (the handwritten engravings ‘for 1950’, ‘for 1951’, ‘ for 1952’, ‘for 1953’ appear at the bottom of the print on each sheet). ​Also included is BARAZER FRANÇOIS (1898–1981), an engraving/lithograph on paper (monogram in the print) depicting The Couple / Adam and Eve, signed with his usual monogram FB in a circle at the bottom right. ​Circa 1930–1950 (the period during which the artist was most active in this type of illustration and prints in a stylised figurative Art Deco/Modern style). Crease in the top right-hand corner.
