Description
A striking original bifolio from Verve: The French Review of Art, No. 5-6 (July-Oct. 1939). This large, double-page color plate presents a grid of medieval female saints and heroines rendered after manuscript illuminations, reproduced in rich pochoir/heliogravure color on fine wove stock. Fantastic wall piece with strong decorative appeal.
