Item description from seller

Folio. 44 x 34cm. Original cloth portfolio with 27 drawings after Picasso by Henri Deschamps and Fernand Mourlot. Includes the text but not the 6 hors texte original lithographs. It includes 27 lithographs after Picasso, one of which is signed by Picasso (Faune). Twelve of the lithographs are full page. One of 275 numbered copies. Portfolio slightly soiled; 2 pages of the index and colophon defective.Cramer, no. 88.Picasso signed the limitation page which contains a portrait of a faun by Picasso and is a lithographic reproduction of a drawing by Pablo Picasso. The craftsman that reproduced the drawing by hand was Henri Deschamps, Picasso's favorite and most trusted master printer at the Mourlot Studio. He relied on Deschamps any time that a painting or drawing had to be reproduced and it was not an already original print. They collaborated very closely from 1945 until the death of the artist in 1973.This small lithograph is an "after" as it was reproduced by a craftsman while the artist was alive and had to be supervised and approved by the artist himself. In the case, this beautiful little gem of a lithograph was created for the book: Dans L'atelier de Picasso - which was written by Picasso's secretary and close friend Sabartes and published and printed by Editions Mourlot. It included 13 original lithographs and dozens of reproductions of paintings and drawings. Each book was signed by Picasso on the justification page in red Pencil. However, none of the lithographs inside were ever signed.…
