Part of the popularity of the XXe Siecle series for collectors is that they always contained an original lithograph or two on stiff paper by prominent artists. These original lithographs were printed by Fernand Mourlot! This issue has an original lithograph by Wilfredo Lam (photo 5)l and a 2nd original color lithograph by Marino Marini (photo 6). Both original lithographs, printed by Mourlot, are on stiff paper and are suitable for framing.
