A brilliant and iconic stone lithograph by Jules Chéret, issued as Plate 145 in Les Maîtres de l’Affiche, the renowned monthly series published at Imprimerie Chaix, Paris, between 1895 and 1900. Subscribers received four plates each month over five years, featuring reduced-format reproductions of the finest poster designs of the Belle Époque.
Chéret’s Saxoléine is among his most celebrated compositions. Created to advertise a brand of oil used for household lighting, the design captures Chéret’s revolutionary approach to poster art — he was the first artist to popularize the use of graceful, animated women to promote commercial products, transforming advertising into an art form. The vivacious figure, bathed in golden light, embodies the optimism and elegance of fin-de-siècle Paris.

The Century – Les Maîtres de l’Affiche – Maxfield Parrish
Original plate The Century by Maxfield Parrish, published as part of the Les Maîtres de l’Affiche series. This important project ran from 1895 to 1899 and reproduced, in reduced format, the best poster designs of the period. Subscribers received four plates each month, printed by the Imprimerie Chaix in Paris under the direction of Jules Chéret, the “father of the modern poster.”
Maxfield Parrish (1870–1966) was an American painter and illustrator whose career spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known for his brilliant colors, idealized imagery, and graphic clarity, Parrish was a major figure in American illustration and design. His inclusion in Les Maîtres de l’Affiche reflected the international reach of the poster movement of the Belle Époque.
Chaix, the Paris printer, was at the center of poster production in the 1890s. Under Chéret’s artistic leadership, the firm pioneered high-quality color lithography and published both the original large posters and the Les Maîtres de l’Affiche plates, which remain highly collectible today.
This plate is printed on fine wove paper, measures 12 × 16 in. (30.5 × 40.6 cm), and has been professionally mounted on linen. It is preserved in excellent “A” condition.
