Sign.: LL Mane Katz 

Unframed

Color lithograph (No. 7) from a set of 12 lithographs created by Mane-Katz based on the work "Stempeniou" by Sholem Aleichem.

All lithographs are signed in the print: "Mane Katz," all created by the artist Mane Katz, illustrating Sholem Aleichem's book "Stempeniou."

Printed by "Mourlot Lith and Manaranche Grav" for the lithographs. Mane Katz started a gouache series in Geneva in 1958 to illustrate the story "Stempeniou." He later completed them all in New York and asked the famous printer Fernando Mourlot for help in printing a limited edition of original prints based on his gouaches. Mane Katz started designing 12 plates in 1960, but died (1962) before finishing them and left this project to his friend Alex Manaranche, who completed it in 1966.

The entire edition of 300 copies was printed in January 1966 in Paris. Publisher - Boston Book and Art Shop, Boston, MA, USA.
