A fine impression printed after the addition of the text to the stone, the first edition with the music and lyrics printed on the verso (apart from the edition of 100 printed prior to the addition of the text to the stone and also apart from the posthumous edition of 1927 printed without the text).
Henri Gabriel Ibels persuaded the music publisher Gustave Ondet, who lived in the building which housed the Ancourt printing works at 83 Rue de Faubourg Saint-Denis, to have his printed music and lyrics illustrated by well-known artists. In addition to Ibels himself, Ondet asked Lautrec, Henri Rachou and others to design title pages for the song collection Les Vielles Histoires (The Old Tales). These were poems by Jean Goudezki set to popular romance melodies by Désiré Dihau, a bassoonist who was also the subject of Degas's painting "L'orchestre de l'opéra." Lautrec designed the cover for five of the songs in the series, which consisted of ten overall, including “Ta Bouche."
