Description
Original 1939 Verve magazine page (double-sided) featuring two desirable images:
*
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Portrait de Mlle Irène Cahen d’Anvers – fine color photogravure (héliogravure) printed in Paris for Verve No. 5-6 (July-Oct. 1939)
*
Dikran, Portrait of a Girl – color gravure on the reverse, also printed for the same issue
Printed on quality wove stock by Draeger Frères for Tériade’s high-end art review, this sheet offers an elegant Renoir on one side and a compelling modern image on the other-ideal for framing either way while retaining the period authenticity of Verve.
