About the Item

Print heightened with gouache by George Vertury, "Défense d’Afficher," (Prohibition to Display). Little is known about George Rollin de Vertury other than he was born in 1894 and made the “official” painter of the French merchant marines in 1924. His wild and risqué works were usually early prints which were then hand-colored. He almost uniformly focused on sailors engaged in drinking, urinating, or other flagrante activities. Because of the delicate paper that was used for these prints, and that they were often folded and kept in sailors’ backpacks as a souvenir, not many of de Vertury’s original works have survived. The original print has some creasing, a small tear at top of margin and ageing to the paper. Trent Antiques has been a respected name in antiques for over 35 years with a large collection of period furniture, art, books, jewelry and decorative accessories.
