rare and important print

most likely printed around or before 1920

it was printed by Emile Maeyens for his art supply shop De Distel in Antwerp

at the end of WW1 he became involved with the avant garde and avant-garde magazines (like Het Overzicht)

and their artists (like Michel Seuphor and the Belgian Constructivists like Peeters and Maes) but also with artists like Apollinaire

this print comes from the unsold prints from the Maeyens estate

he started his shop directly after the German attacks in 1917

(these prints are often marked at the reverse with the Maeyens stamp print)

worldwide there is no other copy on sale, but would usually cost about €400 ($500)...

the print is in good condition

paper slightly browned, as always

some folds and one small tear at the right edge
