Description
EARLY 20TH CENTURY PRINT LITHOGRAPH BY MAURICE LOURDEY (FRENCH, 1860-1934)
A most attractive advertising poster from the turn of the century, it is incredibly striking at its notably large dimensions with an overall height of nearly 71 framed; this same lithograph of slightly larger dimensions is held in the collection of Musée Carnavalet in Paris (acc. no. AFF1563). The playful image depicts a flirtatious encounter between a young woman and an overweight older man made possible by the stability of Tridon tires. The present poster has an applied retailer address label on the lower right corner of the poster and is hung behind plexiglass in a modern frame.
[frame] 70 7/8 H x 51 5/8 W
If you choose to have the print removed from the frame (and the frame disposed of), this can be shipped in-house.

BSA provides written condition reports, along with photographs or video, upon request and at no charge. These reports are prepared in good faith and represent reasonable efforts to describe the lot’s visible characteristics, including observable flaws. However, assessments of condition are inherently subjective and may reflect the personal thresholds or expectations of the viewer. Condition reports, whether written or verbal, are not forensic, comprehensive, or prepared to academic standards. The absence of a condition report does not imply that a lot is free from defects. Any mention of condition in the catalog or report is intended as a general guide only and may not account for all imperfections, restorations, or alterations. All lots are offered “as is, where is, ?? and BSA makes no warranties or guarantees regarding condition. Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect lots in person or engage a qualified expert for condition-related concerns. BSA reserves the right to decline condition report or image requests at its discretion, particularly when the request is made too close to the auction or when the lot’s value does not reasonably justify the time required.
