HENRI TOULOUSE-LAUTREC

Zamboula-Polka.



Lithograph, 1901. 263x210 mm; 10½x8¼ inches, full margins. Second state (of 3), with the letters. A proof in this state, on large-size paper, aside from the edition of approximately 300 for the song-sheet cover. A very good impression of this scarce lithograph.This is Toulouse-Lautrec's last documented lithograph. According to Adriani, "It was made between the end of April and 15 July 1901, during Lautrec's last visit to Paris; it was printed by Crevel, Paris. Désiré Dihau had asked his cousin and friend [Lautrec], now fatally ill, for a title page for this comic song to a text by P. Valfé, to be published by Georges Ondet." Delteil 334; Adhémar 369; Adriani 360.
