ORIGINAL Framed Marc Chagall 1956 SOLOMON Lithograph w Sgd 1967 First Day Cover

Offered in this sale is a genuine authentic 1956 Marc Chagall original lithograph from the Bible Suite known as SOLOMON that I found framed and mounted on matt board together with a genuine artist signed United Nations First Day cover issued on Nov 17, 1967. I was at first attracted to this piece because of the original signed first day cover. I had thought that the artwork was more than likely a print.

Upon closer examination, however, with a jewelers loupe I was suspect that this might be an original lithograph so I opened up the frame and gently removed it from the matt board it had been mounted on. I immediately discovered that it is indeed an original. If you look at the 3rd, 4th and 9th image you can see the back of the lithograph. There is a second black lithograph image on the back.

From what I understand only twelve of the many different Bibical theme lithos in the suite of which only 6500 of each were printed also had a second image on the back. This is clearly one of those. As you can see in the images there is discoloration on the back only from the glue or whatever it was they used to mount the piece, however, other than this there are no rips, tears, foxing or damage on the front side. The fourth image shows the lithograph with the matt board it was mounted on.

Inclusive of the frame as you see in the first image the piece overall measures roughly 23" tall x 14" wide. The lithograph alone measures roughly 13 7/8" x 10 1/4". Some collectors may want just the first day cover while others may have other ideas how to display and possibly reframe. Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail and condition.
