Description
Henri Rivière (1864-1951) - The wandering Jew. 1898. Printed by Verneau. Original lithograph on ivory vellum. Mongrammed and signed in the plate lower right. The plate : 23,5x61cm ; the sheet : 33,5x71cm. Lined on bolloré paper. Fresh colours, traces of vertical folds.
This print is the co-collectors' edition of a promotional print of Fragerolle's play. With the success of the play came the opportunity to print a book.
On the back is a design probably created by Georges Auriol.
It is amusing to see how the artist transposes this ancient mythical story with the reality of Brittany in his day, where the Jew meets nuns on a beach.
