Art Nouveau - Original Adverts
First edition, folio lithographs
after posters from "Les Maitres de l'Affiche". This
work was published by Imprimerie Chaix under the direction of
Jules Cheret in Paris between 1896 and 1900. The prints were
published as a monthly subscription, with 4 sent each month to
subscribers. On 16 occasions "bonus" plates of original designs
by noted artists were also included. Each lithograph featured
the blind embossed stamp of Maitres de l'Affiche designed by
Cheret on one hidden by the frame. Celebrated artists of the
time contributed to the work including Steinlen, Mucha,
Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, Forain, Grasset, Meunier, Louis
Rhead, Dudley Hardy, Beggarstaff, Edward Penfield et al. ---
Jules Cheret was considered the father of poster art. "He
dominated the series, with one in every four Maitres by him, the
first in each monthly instalment, and 7 of the Special plates, a
total of 67. With over 1000 poster designs to his credit, his
large representation in the series is justified, although some
critics have pointed out that, as the artistic director, he may
have been biased towards selecting his own work." (Appelbaum
p.iii) Cheret opened his own print shop in 1866 in Paris
and from 1881 on his shop operated as part of the Chaix firm
which gave us "Les Maitres de l'Affiche". --- Among the most
sought after plates in the work are the "Job" and "Moulin Rouge"
by Toulouse Lautrec. Rennert noted of the "Job" by Mucha that
"more than any other work of Mucha's, this beauty established
him as the master of convoluted hair and the creator of
unforgettable popular images; the poster was used for years in
many variants all over the world, sometimes with marginal text
in various languages. A classic by any standard." (Rennert,
PAI-XLIX 389)

- The Bookman Christmas number by Louis Rhead 1896
Louis Rhead Louis John Rhead was an English-born American artist, illustrator, author and angler who was born in Etruria, Staffordshire, England. He emigrated to the United States at the age of twenty-four. The Rhead family had operated and worked in the Staffordshire Potteries for at least three generations. Louis' father George W. Rhead worked in the pottery industry and was a highly respected gilder and ceramic artist. In the 1870s, George Rhead taught art and design in Staffordshire schools. He founded Fenton School of Art. Louis and all his siblings attended their father's art classes and worked in the potteries as children. His brothers Frederick Alfred Rhead and George Woolliscroft Rhead Jr. (1855–1920) were also artistic, and Louis, later in his career, sometimes collaborated with them, for example in book-illustration projects. Louis was also the uncle of the potters Charlotte Rhead and Frederick Hurten Rhead. Because Louis demonstrated exceptional talent, when he was thirteen in 1872, his father sent him to study in Paris, France with artist Gustave Boulanger. After three years in Paris, Louis Rhead returned to work in the potteries as a ceramic artist at Minton and later at Wedgwood. In 1879 he gained a scholarship at the National Art Training School, South Kensington, London. After graduating from South Kensington in 1881, Louis Rhead worked briefly for Wedgwood and worked for the London publisher Cassell. In 1883 at the age of twenty-four, Louis Rhead was offered a position as Art Director for the U.S. publishing firm of D. Appleton in New York City. He accepted and emigrated to the U.S. in the fall of 1883. In 1884 he married Catherine Bogart Yates, thus becoming an American citizen. Louis and Catherine lived in Flatbush, Brooklyn overlooking Prospect Park for forty years. In the early 1890s, Rhead became a prominent poster artist and was heavily influenced by the work of Swiss artist Eugène Grasset. During the poster craze of the early 1890s, Rhead's poster art appeared regularly in Harper's Bazaar, Harper's Magazine, St. Nicolas, Century Magazine, Ladies Home Journal and Scribner's Magazine. An exhibition of his work was organized by the Salon des Cent in Paris. Three of his posters wer published in Les Maîtres de l'Affiche. In 1895 he won a Gold Medal for Best American Poster Design at the first International Poster Show in Boston. By the late 1890s, the popularity of poster art declined, and Rhead turned his skills to book illustration. Between 1902 and his death in 1926, Rhead illustrated numerous children's books published by Harpers and others. Most notable among these were editions of: Robin Hood, The Swiss Family Robinson, Robinson Crusoe, The Deerslayer, Treasure Island, Kidnapped and Heidi. Rhead was an avid fly fisher and by his own account started fishing for trout in the U.S. sometime between 1888 and 1890. In 1901 he became interested in angling art and much of his later published works deal with fishing and fly fishing. Rhead was also a tackle dealer and sold his own line of artificial flies. His most famous and celebrated work is American Trout-Stream Insects (1916). At the time of its publication this was one of the first and most comprehensive studies of stream entomology ever published in America. He died from a heart attack at his retirement home in Amityville, Long Island. ...framed + mounted. Posted non EU/UK without glass for safety £925 inc delivery less collected

Habert Dys ~ Art Nouveau
Jules Auguste Habert-Dys (1850 - 1924) was born in Fresnes, France. Studied ceramics with Ulysse Bernard at Blois then settled in Paris in 1873, He spent four years in the atelier/school of Jean-Leon Gerome and was influenced by the graphic artist, Felix Bracquemond, whose own work was among the first to reflect Japonisme in France. Art Nouveau prints with rich subtleties of tone, colour and detail; the publisher was rightly proud of this production - the coloured gravures are printed by Gillot (hence gillotypes) with heavy original gilding
