Notes

This is the right-hand side of the cover for the ninth and last album of 'L'Estampe Originale', March 1895; see 1920,0522.44 for the left-hand side. (Text from 'From Manet to Toulouse-Lautrec', BM 1978, cat.105) This lithograph folded into two halves to serve as the wrapper for the last livraison of 'L'Estampe Originale', which was published in March 1895 in an edition of 100. The elephant and the list of contents join the man raising the curtain on the front cover; on the back, watching the curtain rise from the audience's side is Misia Natanson.

The elephant reappears in Lautrec's programme cover (A.105) for a play translated from the Hindustani called 'Le Chariot de Terre Cuite', which opened in January 1895 at the Théâtre de l'Oeuvre. Lautrec had in fact designed the stage set for this production. An eyewitness reports that in the foreground on the right was a mountain of cactus while on the left was an elephant in profile; the backcloth was a painted vision of India (Joyant 1927, p.42). Probably this also explains why Lautrec began to use occasionally a monogram with an outline elephant in 1894.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
