Original Georges Braques Poster "Ville de Honfleur", 1964 - Mourlot

This is an original lithographic poster created in 1964 for an exhibition organized by the town of Honfleur, Normandy — a tribute to its most celebrated native son, Georges Braque.

The image reproduces The Pitcher and Bird, an original etching published by the prestigious Galerie Maeght in Paris — one of the most distinguished galleries of the 20th century, long associated with Braque, Miró, Calder, and Giacometti. The lithographic reproduction was executed by Henri Deschamps, master printer at the Ateliers Mourlot, Paris, ensuring the highest fidelity to the original work.

That Braque's hometown chose to honor him with a poster bearing both the Maeght and Mourlot names speaks to the cultural weight of this edition. Honfleur, a port town long beloved by painters — from Boudin to the Impressionists — here pays homage to the artist who, alongside Picasso, redefined the very language of modern painting.

A distinguished acquisition at the intersection of fine art, printmaking history, and Norman heritage.
