(POSTER ART.) Masson, C.; and Piazza, H. L'Estampe Moderne. Numbers 1-24 [complete]. 100 lithographed and collotype plates with lettered tissue guards accompanied by literary poem, and reproductions after Alphonse Mucha, Louis Rhead, Marcel Lenoir, Henri Boutet, Henri Fantin-Latour, Edward Burne-Jones, Théophile Steinlen, and 84 others. Folio, contents loose as issued in original pictorial wrappers after Mucha; laid into custom cloth-backed chemise with ties. Paris, May 1897-April 1899

  • Notes: famous collection of works by the major art nouveau artists. L'Estampe Moderne's aim was "to reanimate and disseminate the taste for prints" (issue 24). In fact, for a time, it outshone the other great poster venue, Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, with its beautiful, large-format original prints on excellent quality paper. Ray, French 362.
