Note:	Ethel Lubell Smul 'Ethel L. Smul': A fine twentieth century New York painter and lithographic artist, Ethel Smul first studied art at Hunter College. She then completed her education at the Art Students League of New York, under Brackman, Olinsky and Boardman Robinson. Ethel Smul was equally accomplished with both landscapes and figure studies. She began to exhibit her art around 1925 at such major institutions as the National Academy of Design, the National Association of Women Artists, Library of Congress, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the Riverside Museum, and other shows in New York, Boston, Rochester and Philadelphia. Ethel Smul was a member of the American Society of Contemporary artists, New York (ASCA), the New York Society of Women artists, the New York Teachers Guild and the Society of Independent Artists. Examples of her artwork can be found in the permanent collections of the American Society of Contemporary Artists, New York, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio and other major private and public institutions. This artist can be found listed under various names; Ethel Lubell Smul was the name she used after she married Dr. Josef Smul, however, she usually signed her artwork under the name; 'Ethel L. Smul'.
	Most of Ethel Smul's original lithographs were created during the 1930's decade. Some were commissioned by New York publishers, while most were printed and published by her hand. Due to the very small edition size of Mardi Gras (twenty-four), it likely that this original lithograph falls into the latter category. Other original lithographs created by the artist include, Winter in the Park, New York, Striped Rooster, the Sail, Along the Water's Edge, Under Sea Enchantment and Winter, all were printed in very small editions and all were signed "Ethel L. Smul", by the artist.
	Like so many great American prints from the decade of the Depression, Ethel Smul's original lithograph, Mardi Gras portrays a world far removed from the economic hardship of the times. Here, in the joyful expressions of two revelers, Ethel Lubell Smul has brilliantly captured the spirit of this still famous New Orleans carnival.
