Important French painter and printmaker (1864–1901) whose lively, colorful portrayals of the people and places of fin-de-siècle Paris take a place among the most iconic images of the era. Lautrec’s immersion in art stemmed largely from his isolation following a disfiguring teenage accident that failed to heal properly, preventing his legs from growing further while his torso continued to develop normally. A rare example of Toulouse-Lautrec’s personal calling cards, 4 x 2.25, with two lines of pencil notes in his hand, a pass to admit two people at his exhibition at the Goupil Galleries in London with the date and the time along the bottom, also in his hand. Mild toning, a bit of trivial foxing, and a diagonal crease to lower right corner affecting a single word of the date line, otherwise fine condition. Anything in Toulouse-Lautrec’s hand is quite scarce, particularly such a personal item, connected with a rare exhibition outside France.
