Jacques Villon

One offset lithograph printed in colors and the complete song sheets to Inquiétude Valse, comprising one off-set lithograph printed in colors and five pages of sheet music (eight pages total), 1901, from editions of unknown size, the first mounted on linen-backed wove paper, the second on wove paper, each published by A. Bosc, Paris  (2 prints)

Mirette (G. & P. 63): Apart from separating the lithograph from the song sheets and laying it down on linen-backed wove paper, the print is in good condition. Uneven density of the red in the woman's dress at the knees. (Upon close inspection, two repaired tears in the left sheet edge at top, the largest measuring 5/8 of an inch. A surface scuff in the black of the dog, visible in raking light.) Inquiétude Valse: The full sheets, each sheet of the song sheets is in good condition apart from time-stain at the sheet edges and paper loss at the central vertical fold in each sheet at top. The paper loss is worst on the outside cover, measuring two inches long, but does not impact the image. Additional minor imperfections include an occasional fox mark on the right edge of page eight and occasional soft handling creases.
