Albert Guillaume
Eau Minérale Naturelle Vichy by Albert Guillaume, Belle Epoque lithograph, 1896

1896

About the Item

An elegant woman in a blue Victorian dress toasts with a glass of “the coldest” and “most carbonated” sparkling water from Vichy, France. In early advertising, artists commonly used a redhead as an example of modern-thinking behavior. While this poster was printed in multiple sizes and formats, this edition of 25 strikes on Japon paper from 1896 is the most desirable and extremely scarce edition. Japon paper allows inks to rest upon its surface rather than being absorbed by a more permeable paper stock. The rare, small format poster lithographs created at this time were printed using rich, dense, lead inks. This edition was published by Imprimerie Chaix, the printing house known for publishing the works of Belle Epoque master Jules Chéret. This artwork arrives accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Notable museum collections featuring works by Albert Guillaume include: Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Musée des Beaux-Arts, Reims, France; Science Museum Group, UK; and more.

  • Alphonse Mucha's Le Pater: "Hallowed Be Thy Name" 1899 sepia lithograph
    By Alphonse Mucha
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Stone lithograph sepia plate of Hallowed Be Thy Name from Alphonse Mucha’s masterpiece of mysticism, Le Pater. Printed by F. Champenois, published by Henri Piazza in Paris in an edition of 510, 1899. “Le Pater is the perfect convergence of three important movements at the close of the 19th century: Art Nouveau, Mysticism, and Religion. Art Nouveau, through its respect and honor of Nature, promotes the idea of a spirit of energy coursing through all things–a tenet of Mysticism–that finds foundation in the traditions of Mucha's personal relationship with the imagery of Religion. Le Pater gave Mucha a venue to communicate his beliefs specifically through his unique approach to Art and the coded language he had been learning through his devotion to Masonic teachings. He combined the aesthetics of Medieval manuscripts...
