What it is
A trial proof of Toulouse-Lautrec's 1892 poster "Ambassadeurs. Aristide Bruant dans son cabaret", pulled from the yellow, red, olive green and black stones. The BnF cites Wittrock P4, Delteil 343 and Adhémar 6; the printer was Edward Ancourt.
Why it matters
The proof shows the four colour stones before the final run, the state a printer checked before the edition.
What to notice
A different design from the "de profil" Bruant already in the catalogue.
For one decade, the street was the gallery.
