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.

  • Musée Grévin, Pantomimes Lumineuses by Jules Cheret, Commedia lithograph, 1896
    By Jules Chéret
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Jules Chéret’s poster advertising the Théâtre Optique (Optical Theatre) immortalized a momentous convergence of technology, culture, history, and art with the 1892 debut of Emile Reynaud’s praxinoscope at the Musée Grévin in Paris. Reynaud presented his Pantomimes Lumineuses, the world’s first animated films, using his innovative system which projected light through moving pictures to offer illuminated pantomimes. Among the three short films Reynaud screened through his praxinoscope was Pauvre Pierrot (Poor Pierrot), a story of Pierrot courting Columbine based on the timeless archetypal love triangle featured in many Commedia dell’arte pantomimes. As a member of the Cercle Funambulesque (roughly “Friends of the Tightrope-walkers”), a French society which championed the contemporary creation of Commedia dell-arte-inspired pantomimes, Jules Chéret was often inspired by Pierrot and produced a large number of works depicting him, often with his beloved Columbine. Cheret’s involvement with the Cercle, combined with the immense popularity of these archetypes in the late 19th century, meant that they appeared frequently in his works. This work comes from the extremely scarce edition of 25 strikes on Imperial Japon paper, a mulberry bark-based stock inspired by the smooth-surfaced papers used in Japanese printmaking. This world-class example of lithography captures superior resolution and color-richness to that of its large-format counterpart. The use of marbled Imperial Japon paper allows inks to rest upon its surface rather than being absorbed by a more porous paper stock. An extremely scarce fraction of the edition of 25 are estimated to have survived to date. Stone lithograph of Jules Chéret’s Musée Grévin...
