TOULOUSE-LAUTREC'S FAMOUS CIRCUS DRAWINGS, number K of 15 hors commerce copies (of 215 total). In 1899, Toulouse-Lautrec at only 35 years old was suffering the effects of dementia and alcoholism, to the point that he needed to be institutionalized. While in the sanitorium, he began this series of circus drawings, produced from memory and finely detailed. Their impressive detail convinced the doctors of his improving health and he earned his release after just three months, reporting later, "I bought my freedom with my drawings." This work has been described as "... belles et rares suites tres estimees et tres cotes" (Carteret IV, 381). Sold with Abrams portfolio At the Circus [First Series], 22 facsimile plates (including cover), without text.
