Aimé Maeght's Derriere le Miroir was published in Paris from 1946, just after WWII as artists returned to Europe, until 1982, just after the founder's death. There were 200 published issues featuring the work of artists who exhibited at Galerie Maeght. Issues included original lithographs, thereby providing more affordable access to works of art by well-known artists, most of them from France and Spain, such as Chagall, Calder, Miró, Braque, Rebeyrolle, Del Re, Riopelle, and Adami.

This group of Derriere le Miroir issues was collected in Switzerland.

All with foxing, occasionally heavy; generally only light additional wear to wraps and leaves, with two issues with slightly heavier wear; occasional light toning, expected offsetting, or rare spot of grime. Overall good to very good.
