This original 1970 French edition of Andy Warhol’s Flowers series was published by Nouvelles Images, France, and professionally mounted on linen. Measuring 27.5 x 27.5 inches, this collectible print represents one of Warhol’s most recognizable and enduring motifs.
Warhol first created his Flowers series in 1964, marking a pivotal moment in his transition from commercial illustrator to one of the defining figures of contemporary Pop Art. Using the silkscreen process, Warhol transformed a simple image of hibiscus blossoms into a striking study of repetition, color, and form—an approach that redefined the relationship between art, media, and mass culture.
Printed on heavy Canson paper, this 1970 edition is admired for its exceptional color saturation and fine printing quality. The surface is rich and vibrant, capturing the visual energy that made the Flowers series an icon of 20th-century art.

JANE AVRIL – JARDIN DE PARIS — Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph reproduces Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s famous poster of Jane Avril, one of Montmartre’s most celebrated dancers, created to advertise her performances at the Jardin de Paris.
Jane Avril (1868–1943), a close friend and muse of Lautrec, became an icon of Parisian nightlife through her eccentric, serpentine style of dance. Lautrec’s posters of her are among his most enduring works, capturing both her elegance and her unconventional energy. In this design, Avril dominates the composition, her figure twisting in rhythm, while the bold curves and flat colors reflect Lautrec’s revolutionary approach to poster art.
Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was among the first journals dedicated to poster art, issued in small runs for collectors. Produced at the Chaix atelier, each plate was a stone-lithograph reduction of an important affiche, printed on fine paper for subscribers. These editions gave collectors authentic examples of the finest Belle Époque posters in a smaller, more practical format than the large affiches pasted on Paris walls.
