"The Defeat of Time", a high-quality print, produced with color and gold using the heliogravure process, the oldest procedure for reproducing photographic images.
From the publication called 'Verve' by Draeger Freres, a deluxe art review that showcased original prints of leading artists at that time. Verve had a limited edition run (only 1200 published). This colour lithograph was published in Volume 1, No. 4 of Revue Verve, 1938. Lithographs in Verve were pulled from the presses of Mourlot Freres, Paris.
The full print is shown in the last photo. Other photos show details from the print.
Text en verso reads:
"The Defeat of Time
"An illumination from Louis XII's copyu of Petrarch showing the triumph of Love over mankind was reproduced in the first number of Verve. But Love is conquered by Chastity, and the latter by Death. In turn, is defeated by Fame, and Fame by Time. All that remains is Eternity.
"(Bibliotheque Nationale, Ms. Franc. 594, Fol. 375)."
