Depicting the interruption of a tennis match by a pesky air balloon this is a great Montaut image featuring the 'awe'of early flight, titled by Montaut 'En Viste' (The visit) it is subtitled 'L'Hirondelle Renault' - so maybe it was a commissioned early advertising piece, although we have no record of this being the case. It is 'as found' and has had no restoration work whilst here at the gallery, the frame dates from the mid-century and it could do with re-framing we have left it untouched to enable the 'new owner' to decide. We can restore by quotation. Although undated we can be fairly confident that it dates from approx. 1910, it is an original hand coloured litho. Featuring extensive use of the 'broken border' technique - this is classic Montaut.
