[PRIHODA, Istvan (1891-1956) attributed to.] Original drawings for Lesbos, and a set of the published engravings. Perhaps Budapest or Paris, c.1933.
14 charcoal drawings on strong paper, 445 x 300 mm, some watermarked ‘Neusiedl’, with tissue guards, indistinct signature in the bottom right corner of each drawing and inscribed ‘Paris’. (Light soiling, some guards lacking). In a blue card chemise printed with an all-over pattern of swirls in gilt (worn, one flap detached, some losses at the spine). Together with 11 prints (c. 120 x c. 110 mm to the plate mark) on card (250 x 220 mm) with manuscript captions in pencil attributing the work to Lepage. (Light wear to some corners, light soiling and light yellowing in some margins.) In a gilt pebble-grained card chemise (some wear).
A SUITE OF ORIGINAL DRAWINGS POSSIBLY BY PRIHODA, including three evidently not included in the published edition of Lesbos.
