About the Item
Henri Meunier’s Gonthier-Meymans lithographic poster, published by Verlag von Gerhard Kühtmann in Dresden, 1897. While this poster was printed in multiple sizes and formats, this edition of 40 strikes on Japon paper 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 son of an etcher and nephew of a sculptor, Meunier’s harmony of simple color palette and Japonist linework communicates an informed and elegant sensitivity to design. This poster relies solely on its composition to showcase the wares of Gonthier-Meymans, a vendor of fabric, art framing, and housewares.
“Belgium was one of the forefronts of the Art Nouveau movement… Henri Meunier bridged the completely modern style presented by Livemont with the traditional influences that inspired [William] Bradley and [Eugene] Grasset, to elegant result.”
-Quoted from from Flowering Lines: Rare Art Nouveau Graphics 1883-1911 by Thomas Negovan (2017)

Eugénie Buffet Ambassadeurs by Lucien Métivet, Imperial Japon lithograph, 1897
By Lucien Métivet
Located in Chicago, IL
Eugénie Buffet was a French singer, actress, and pioneer of the chanson réaliste (realist song) genre, which portrayed the day to day lives of the poor and working-class in Paris. Métivet’s Ambassadeurs poster depicts Buffet as a prostitute working on the cold, windy streets of Paris; Buffet describes following working women to effectively reflect their demeanor in her roles, “Huddled in the shadow of dark alleys, I espied their beckoning calls to passersby, followed them from afar, scraping invisibly along the walls, listened to their words in the doorways of seedy hotels; sometimes, even, made up and dressed like them, I would slip among them, sitting at tables in their dives, and join in the conversation” (Buffet, 1930 via Conway, 2004). Her name, much like that of fellow performer Aristide Bruant, was further solidified in history by their likenesses in iconic and historically important artworks by Métivet’s and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
“Métivet’s talent is seen at its best in the Eugénie Buffet advertisements, two studies worthy a place amongst the best posters which have come from the hands of contemporary French artists” (Hiatt, 1896).
This artwork is presented in archival rag mat and arrives accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
