At the end of the 19th century, the public's passion for the poster reached its peak. Throughout Europe, many collectors are snapping up posters of all formats and asking for special editions or additional copies. To respond to this craze, Jules Chéret founded the publishing house "Les Maîtres de l'Affiche" in 1896. He chose famous posters and printed them in lithography, on thick paper approximately 29 x 40 cm. This small format publication, easy to collect, is the logical consequence of the collection mania that ran through the Belle Époque. It allows amateurs to admire and acquire the most beautiful European and American graphic works.
