Honoré Broutelle (1866–1929)
“Le Cavalier Saint Georges”, 1924, I
understand that this woodcut was published in Paris by the Sociéte de la

illustrations to Francis
de Miomandre’s (aka François Félicien Durand) “Le Patriarche”
Woodcut on cream wove paper.

Lettered in plate along lower edge: (left) “1924”; (right) “HB

Condition: a richly inked and near faultless impression in near pristine
condition as published.
