About the Item
Stone lithograph of Albert Morrow’s Illustrated Bits, printed by Imprimerie Chaix (Ateliers Chéret), Paris in 1897. 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 permeable paper stock. An extremely scarce fraction of the edition of 25 are estimated to have survived to date.
Founded as “Illustrated Tit-Bits” in 1886, this periodical relaunched in 1891 as “Illustrated Bits”. This design was noted in the January 1899 issue of the poster as a “graphic hit” for artist Morrow.
Albert Morrow was born in Ireland and educated at the Government School of Art in Belfast. He exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, illustrated numerous books, and created hundreds of posters for the British theater. “Illustrated Bits” remains one of his most famous posters, as it perfectly captures the whimsy of Belle Epoque in England with a masterful and unique artistry.
This piece is presented in an archival-quality rag mat and arrives accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Museum collections include: Victoria and Albert Museum (“the world's leading museum of art and design”), London.

View AllAlphonse 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...

Alphonse Mucha's Le Pater: "Thy Kingdom Come" 1899 mandala lithograph
By Alphonse Mucha
Located in Chicago, IL
Stone lithograph mandala plate of Thy Kingdom Come 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 with Moorish arabesques, Byzantine mandalas, and Classical Renaissance melodrama to create a body of work that guided viewers across the gap between the ancient and the modern.
The published plates for Le Pater were struck by Champenois on December 20, 1899 in an edition of 510 copies with the express agreement that they never be reprinted. As much of Mucha's work had been commercialized by Champenois due to numerous printings across multiple mediums, by this point he felt he had earned the right to insist on this deeply personal work existing only in the original release he had envisioned.
