Rare New Orleans Double-Sided CommercialRare New Orleans Double-Sided Commercial Lithography Stone, fourth quarter 19th century and later, one side engraved with various commercial documents including a business card of Dr. Oscar Salomon, Surgeon Dentist, 190 Canal Street, a shipping receipt for Ledoux Co. Ltd., importers and wholesale grocers, 217 South Peters and 214 Tchoupitoulas, patent medicine labels for Vermont's Stock Remedies, F. H. Gruneberg, 14 Conti Street, and Brodie's Astringent Cordial, I. L. Lyons, a receipt for the sale of cotton for S. Gumbel & Co., and a check drawn on the Hibernia National Bank, the other side engraved entirely with a later promotional advertisement for Cafe du Monde coffee, through the Southern Coffee Mills, Ltd., 608 Tchoupitoulas Street, offering a five-piece aluminum cookware set "for only 3 special vouchers from Cafe du Monde coffee and 98c. cash", h. 3", w. 12", l. 10". One side of this stone apparently dates from the turn of the century, given the variable date "189_" on the Ledoux receipt and directory listings for the other businesses. I.L. Lyons, for instance, was Isaac Luria Lyons (1837-1923), a druggist on the corner of Camp and Gravier, and S. Gumbel was the very wealthy Simon Gumbel (1832-1909), commission merchant and cotton factor whose papers are housed at Louisiana State University. The reverse with the amusing Cafe du Monde promotional advertisement was apparently a later economical use of the stone dating from the second quarter of the 20th century, as it contains the telephone number "RA 2605"; the RAymond exchange was in use only from 1928 to 1957.

LOT NOTES
Swiss born Theophile Alexandre Steinlen was both a prolific lithographer and painter. Active during the end of the 19th century, Steilen illustrated materials for the Le Chat Noir, a bohemian night club which introduced him to the left wing group of avant garde artists including Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Louis Anquetin, Adolphe Willette, and Félix Vallotton. Well known for his anti- bourgeois and anarchist politics himself, Steinlen’s portrait of Maxim Gorky exhibits reverence for his fellow political activist. Gorky, a proponent of Marxist social- democracy, was an fervent advocate for Russia's social, political, and cultural transformation. However, the Nobel Prize in Literature nominee’s clashes with Lenin and the repressive attitudes in Russia resulted in a nearly twenty year stint in exile in Italy from 1906 to 1913 and from 1922 to 1932.
