Les Théâtres – Le Couplet Final

Wood engraving, 1862, 225 x 160 mm., Daumier Register 6004 ii/ii, Bouvy 925, Fuchs 415. The wood block was engraved by C. Maurand from Daumier’s drawing and the work published by Meynial and F. L Schmied in 1920. A fine impression on simili-japon with very large margins, with Schmied’s red stamp and numbered in pencil from the total edition of 100. Obviously, early departure from the theater is a long-standing tradition.
