Les Pannes (Sous le Vente)
Ernest Montaut
£1,000PLEASE CONTACT STUART for further information.
Dating from 1903 this is a great piece of early collaboration between Montaut & Mabileau et Cie. It is important as it demonstrates the evolution of Montaut's style from cartoon to commercial lithography and is an example of the growing commerciality of multiple production 'prints' and motoring art. There were a series of 4 'Les Pannes' lithos all showing various breakdown scenarios. We particularly like the rural theme in this one, especially the lad with his pig on a piece of string! This is offered in 'as found condition' and it is our opinion that with this one, the signs of damp & age add to the whole.
