Le Tocsin (delteil 357; Adhémar 147; Wittrock P 19)
This vibrant color lithograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was created as a commissioned poster for the Toulouse newspaper *La Dépêche*, printed by Cassan Fils. The composition exemplifies Lautrec's bold graphic style, employing his characteristic fluid lines and flat areas of color drawn from the influence of Japanese woodblock prints. Executed on linen-backed wove paper, the work stands as a testament to Lautrec's mastery of the lithographic medium and his significant contribution to the golden age of French poster art.
