Félix Vallotton (1865-1925 )The Wall. 1892. Woodcut. 190 x 100 [249 x 162]. Vallotton and Goerg 99 a. Good proof on thin buff vellum, signed in pencil. Pinholes in the corners of the folio. All margins. Rare: only a few proofs were printed during the artist's lifetime, then about 35 posthumously. This is the wall of the Federated, now a place of remembrance, located at the top of the Père-Lachaise cemetery, where 147 members of the Commune were shot by the Versaillais on May 28, 1871, before being thrown into a mass grave at the foot of the wall. In one of the funeral wreaths, the artist inscribed his own monogram, as a sign of rallying to the cause.
