MARC CHAGALL Lithograph II Cover, 1963

This slipcover lithograph was produced as the first release for the book "Chagall Lithographe II," which covers Chagall's lithographic works from 1957 to 1962. Published by André Sauret in 1963 and printed by Mourlot, the lithograph is catalogued as Mourlot number 391. It features fold lines down the middle as issued for the book's format.

Though it served as the cover for the catalogue raisonné, this specific lithograph is part of an overrun, meaning it was printed alongside the other covers but exists as an additional, unbound copy. These overruns were often created to account for potential flaws during printing and, as a result, provide collectors with original lithographs that maintain the same high-quality standards as the bound editions.
