Paul Berthon · Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, vol. 5, 1900
What it is
Plate 227 from the fifth volume of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, dated 1900 on the file page and digitised by the New York Public Library.
Why it matters
Berthon's lithography leans on flat mineral colours and a drawn, almost pastel surface rather than the hard commercial contour of his Chaix contemporaries. The Commons record gives no title beyond the plate number, so the sheet is catalogued as issued.
What to notice
Berthon again, plate 227, the chalk-soft end of Art Nouveau at full poster height.
For one decade, the street was the gallery.
