Henri Mirande (1875-1955) 'Scorching'.
An original sepia-coloured lithographic print published by Fortier et Marotte in March 1906, as indicated in the bottom left-hand corner of the image, depicting two children racing down a village street in their battered home-made car, a puppy balanced precariously on the rear, the effect being quite surreal. This is one of Mirande's celebrated humorous works. Printed artist's signature in the lower right-hand corner. Visible sheet size 17.75 x 21-inches (45 x 53cm). Mounted, framed and glazed. Some browning to the image, and a short (3cm) abrasion in the centre of the top edge of the sheet (not affecting the main image), otherwise good.
