An interesting French Cubist lithograph from early Modernist painter and printmaker, André Lhote (1885-1962). The work is titled "Le Journal" and it is a fair sized piece, the image is 15 3/8 x 8 3/4 inches and the sheet measures 21 x 15 3/4 inches.  It is printed on cream colored wove BFK Rives paper and is hand signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. There is some paper tape residue on reverse edges and a small tear well away from image in right margin, otherwise it is in excellent condition.  

The same print is in the permanent collection of the Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris, their impression was acquired in 1957, so the print predates that year: (see last image in gallery)

André Lhote (1885-1962) was a French Cubist painter of figure subjects, portraits, landscapes and still life. He was also active and influential as a teacher and writer on art.
Born in Bordeaux, France, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux. Whilst there, he began to paint in his spare time and he left home in 1905, moving into his own studio to devote himself to painting. He was influenced by Gauguin and Cézanne and held his first one-man exhibition at the Galerie Druet in 1910, four years after he had moved to Paris. After initially working in a Fauvist style, Lhote shifted towards Cubism and joined the Section d'Or group in 1912, exhibiting at the Salon de la Section d'Or. He was alongside some of the fathers of modern art, including Gleizes, Villon, Duchamp, Metzinger, Picabia and La Fresnaye...
