A fine impression in vivid colors.

The edition was published by the review Le Chien de Pique, and the impressions (including this one) have its stamp, on heavy white wove with full margins.

Only a relatively small portion of Laboureur’s printed work was done in lithography, and of this group, only a few examples were made in color.
