ALS in French, signed “HTL,” two pages, 4.5 x 7, circa 1896. Untranslated letter to a friend requesting that she take care of "Guitry" when the two meet; Guitry most assuredly being Lucien Guitry, an actor, whose portrait Toulouse-Lautrec lithographed in 1898. Handsomely matted and framed with an original Lithograph on cream wove paper of Guitry from Toulouse-Lautrec's series Portraits of Actors and Actresses: to an overall size of 17.5 x 29.5. In fine condition.
Toulouse-Lautrec(24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator whose immersion in the colorful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century allowed him to produce a collection of enticing, elegant, and provocative images of the sometimes decadent affairs of those times.
