"Maitres de L'Affiche" (Masters of the Poster) refers to 256 color lithographic plates used to create an art publication during the "Belle Époque" in Paris, France. The collection, reproduced from the original works of 97 artists in a smaller 11 x 15 inch format, was put together by Jules Chéret, the father of poster art and distributed between 1895-1900. The varied selection of prints were sold in packages of four and delivered monthly to subscribers. Designed for a subscription audience it showcased the most influential posters of the era in a collectable small format. Jules Chéret (1836-1932) was known as the "Father of the Modern Poster". He was a French painter and lithographer, who travelled to England as an apprentice, and introduced the latest lithography techniques to French culture. Paired with his creativity and artistic flair, Chéret began creating advertisements for cabarets, music halls, and theatres such as the Eldorado, the Olympia, the Folies Bergères, Théâtre de l'Opéra, the Alcazar d'Été and the Moulin rouge. His artwork is typified by his influence of the rococo movement to create vivid advertising, often featuring free-spirited young women that became known as "Cherettes". Chéret's posters earned him a gold medal at the Paris World's fair in 1889. These color lithographs are in demand by collectors and have a very good investment value.
