Edward Ancourt
Edward Ancourt belongs to the world of nineteenth-century French printmaking, where the lithograph served as a lively vehicle for satire and social observation. His hand-colored lithographs carry the wit of the era's illustrated press, blending draftsmanship with a touch of applied color. The archive holds a single sheet by Ancourt, a hand-colored lithograph from 1868, the year of the Salon caricature Le Bouffon - Le Salon de 1868. Impressions up to that date reflect the biting humor directed at the exhibition culture of the period.
