The numbering suggests a 20th century origin, numbered prints being far less common in the 19th century.

A lithograph or photo-lithograph of a poster of 1953 for the Galerie des Ponchettes, Nice, exhibition "Le Livre Italien Contemporain". I am not clear if this was an exhibition of Chagall works, or an exhibit of Italian books and how they may have been illustrated at that time, perhaps by figures like Chagall. I have seen online that this print may actually date to 1966, printed by a James K. Foster after the original 1953 image. In any event it is certainly a vintage piece, yet very modern in t...
