The Paris Grand Prix
Le Grand-Prix de Paris (original French title)
Color etching, aquatint, and drypoint printed on simili-japon paper, 1906.
Ref: Delteil 74.
Edition of 200 but having become extremely scarce due to its very large size.
This print was created at a time when the artist’s mastery of color etching was at its best. It is one of the largest copper plate etchings in colors we have encountered before the renaissance of color intaglio with certain fine art print publishers in the 1980s and beyond. The size mentioned here is the image. The plate is actually almost two inches taller at the bottom.
Signed and numbered in pencil.
NOTE: because of its large size this print will ship rolled in a tube. Fear not, we will share instructions on how to open the tube with ease upon receipt.
