Artist: Julian Lacaze (1886 - 1971) was a French visual artist who was born in 1886. Several works by the artist have been sold at auction, including 'COTE DES MAURES ET DE L'ESTEREL' sold at Christie's South Kensington 'Vintage Posters' in 2012. His works are rare and desirable among collectors.
Description: The Caves of Han-sur-Lesse (in French: Grottes de Han-sur-Lesse or simply Grottes de Han) are a major Belgian tourist attraction (around 250-300,000 visitors per year) located on the outskirts of the village of Han-sur-Lesse.
The caves are the result of the underground erosion of a limestone hill by the river Lesse. For most of its length, it is a meandering river. Not far from Han-sur-Lesse, it abruptly plunges into a sinkhole known as the gouffre de Belvaux, forcing its way under the hill over a distance of over 1 kilometer before streaming through the cave complex known as the Grottes de Han. Nice vivid colors which are typical of Lacaze. Original fold lines still visible. Amazing piece of early tourist history.
