$ 250LIBRAIRIE ROMANTIQUE — EUGENE GRASSET — 1896
Original lithographic plate from the publication Affiches Illustrees issued by Librairie Romantique and published by Boudet in 1896. The composition by Eugene Grasset depicts a woman dressed in black reading the publication “L’Age du Romantisme”. At her feet appears a vanitas motif, while in the background stands the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, shown after its 19th century neo-Gothic restoration by Viollet-le-Duc. The image reflects the melancholic spirit associated with the Romantic era.
