France, Steinlen, uniface Æ portrait plaquette by Lefevre, 80 x 73mm. Extremely fine (£50-60)

The Swiss born artist Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen was one of the foremost illustrators and poster artists of the closing years of the 19th century and the opening decades of the present one. He is perhaps best known for his powerful and sympathetic studies of working class life in Paris.
