Pissarro, Camille. RUE SAINT-ROMAIN A ROUEN. Delteil 176(ii). Lithograph on zinc (zincograph), 1896. Second State of 2. One of about 19 lifetime impressions in this state (there were 2 in the first state). Signed, titled, and inscribed "Ep Def No. 9 1ere serie" in pencil. 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches, 190 x 140 mm (image), 11 1/2 x 9 3/8 inches (sheet), with deckle on all four sides. In excellent condition. The British Museum has "Ep definitive no 8/1er serie," and its notes for the print state "He made eleven lithographs [of Rouen] in all, of which four show this same view of the rue Saint-Romain. The title and date prove the topographical and archaeological purpose of the print; the fact that he labels it as the first series suggests that he was intending to make further studies." In excellent condition.
