Description

Félicien Rops (1833-1898) attributed to - La nouvelle question d'Orient. Crocodilian almanac. 1856. 40.5x50cm. Original poster, lithograph, not canvas-backed. Condition A-, lower right corner missing. In the present state of our research, we assume that this is the promotional poster for the Almanach de Rops, dedicated to Belgian students, published in 1856, by the Bibliothèque de la Jeunesse musulmane. It should be noted that "crocodilian" was the equivalent of "hypocrite". The book featured 71 xylographic vignettes by Rops. On the poster, a Turk and a European argue over the almanac. The question of the Orient remained unanswered until the 1914 war.
