Rodolphe Bresdin (1822-1885) The Good Samaritan. 1861. Lithograph. 442x565mm. Van Gelder 100. Very fine proof on large chine appliqué, without Lemercier's address in the center, with the small chip in the stone (improperly called a "bird", appearing from the 2nd print of 1867) and the black spot on the leg of the little monkey on the right. Two fine vertical tears of 40 and 75mm, skilfully restored in the center of the lower margin (far from the subject). Fine band of oxidation and small traces of glue or light epidermis at the head on verso. Short tear at upper right edge. Full margins.
