Ma�tres de l'Affiche (Masters of the Poster) refers to 256 color lithographic plates used to create an art publication during the Belle �poque in Paris, France. The collection, reproduced from the original works of ninety-seven artists in a smaller 11 x 15 inch format, was put together by Jules Ch�ret, 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 collectible small format. This image was created by the artists Sir William Nicholson (1872 � 1949) and James Pryde ( 1866 � 1941) working under the name Beggerstaff Brothers. The poster is promoting the American publication of Harper�s Mag.
