Lot #4 (Sale Order 4 of 336)

The favorite cover-artist on these old items is Theophile Steinlen, a contemporary of Toulouse Lautrec's.

We have seen these items framed-up and offered for hundreds of dollars at big city galleries, today offered here at Paige Auction for a low opening bid for this grouping of four. See the other photographs to notice that the interior and back of these large format publications have other illustrations by Steinlen and other Parisian artists. The condition is quite good on these - there is a little wear and aging, including some nicks and tears to the paper, which is to be expected on old newsprint. They are all from 1895.

A Group of 4 Original Old Illustrated Gil Blas Weeklies, with Art by Artist, T. Steinlen

Lot #8 (Sale Order 8 of 336)

We are fortunate to be offering two groups of four Gil Blas tabloid-size old illustrated newspapers. This is the second lot of four in the auction. These are beautifully printed in black and white with plenty of red accenting, all with that old kind of stone lithography. These could be framed as is, or one could matt-over the type to show-off the beautiful old post-impressionist illustrations. In fact, we've seen these offered at hundreds of dollars in fancy galleries. The artist, Theopile Steinlen, had been a friend and compatriot of Toulouse-Lautrec. The two artists had been known to draw/paint the same famous performers; in fact, the infamous Jane Avril (a muse of Toulouse-Lautrec's) is seen doing the can-can on the cover of one of these. The condition is pretty good considering the age. There are some nicks and tears, some aging and wear to the paper. All in all, much better than to be expected for something so old and fragile. The size on each is 15 3/4" x 10 3/4". And besides the wonderful cover art, there is also much interior and back-cover artwork, mostly by Steinlen. Unfortunately we couldn't find any acknowledgement to Lautrec in these.

The consignor found these in a barn complete like this and the strange part is they are all marked on the bottom and everywhere else the same yet two of the cans have gold lids and four have silver lids. Otherwise they are exactly the same. The carrier measures 5" x 8 1/4"" x 5 1/2". The cans are empty and have the usual case dings, scratches and spots, so please see pictures for best description.
