Provenance:

Estate of Grover Burgis, Inventory Nos. 101-306138/ M217638 to unidentified typed label verso;
Private Collection, Toronto

Note:

Lautrec designed this scarce, early lithographic poster for his friend Victor Joze, a Polish writer of erotic novels, advertising his book whose full title was Reine de Joie / Moeurs du Demi-Monde (Queen of Joy / Customs of the Demi-Monde). The book became very rare when it was pulled from circulation by Baron Rothschild who sued the publishers claiming his image was depicted in the poster. The characters depicted instead are Georges Lasserre and the Luzarche d'Azay.
