Modern French Posters

The modern poster began in Paris, where artists like Cheret, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Mucha skilfully embellished the city with colourful creations that symbolised the florid life-styles of the Belle-Epoque. This book traces the history of the modern poster as a testament to the times and features 227 works from the beginnings of this genre to Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and the war years.
