Louis Rhead
Winter Clothing by Louis Rhead, Art Nouveau Victorian fashion lithograph, 1897

1897

About the Item

Louis Rhead’s 1897 Art Nouveau poster features a well-dressed man with a top hat, cane, and other late Victorian winter fashions. “America was quick to reveal strong Art Nouveau voices…Louis Rhead was born in England but emigrated to the United States in 1883 at the age of 24, and quickly found himself celebrated both in the United States and in France, exhibiting his designs in the prestigious Salon des Cent in Paris in 1897.” -Quote from Thomas Negovan’s Flowering Lines (2017) While this poster was printed in multiple sizes and formats, this extremely scarce edition of 40 strikes on Japon paper from 1897 is the most desirable. The rare, small format poster lithographs created at this time were printed using rich, dense, lead inks, and the special Japon paper editions allowed the inks to rest upon its surface rather than being absorbed by a more permeable paper stock, resulting in a superior, jewellery-like boldly colored strike. This artwork is presented in archival rag mat and arrives accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Notable museum collections featuring works by Louis Rhead include: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and more.
