Paris Monod 7397. -- Edition published under the direction of Charles Meunier with the etchings of Louis Icart printed in intaglio by the master printer Manuel Robbe.<br /> <br /> - "Icart's etchings have a worldwide reputation and it is believed that he created more than 500 in his lifetime. He also illustrated more than 30 books many highly erotic and became an accomplished painter. His paintings are more personal and less commercial than his etchings and reflect the fact that they were created largely for his own pleasure and not intended for a public audience. He died in Paris in 1950" Albany Fine Art. L. I. (Louis Icart) unknown
