réf. 1002574France: no publisher no date early twentieth century. Striking hand-colored sheet of six "images d'Épinal." Inexpensive broadsides like these were hugely popular in France in the nineteenth century: naïve woodcuts brightly colored featuring images of Catholic saints Napoleonic battles and storybook characters. By the turn of the twentieth century lithography had emerged as the primary printing process and the range of subjects had greatly expanded but there was still a market for images printed in the old style a graphic tradition that influenced modernists from Henri Rousseau to Alfred Jarry. This group of six separate images printed from blocks on a sheet of Ingres d'Arches paper may be a publisher's proof. The military and religious subjects include uniformed soldiers on horseback the Madonna and child and Saint Hubert's encounter with Christ in the form of a stag. A bright fine example. Single sheet of six woodblock prints printed recto only and colored en pochoir measuring 14.75 x 19 inches. no publisher unknown books
