LE COURRIER FRANÇAIS – CHERET – 1894 – LES AFFICHES ILLUSTREES

This plate reproduces Jules Chéret’s 1894 poster for Le Courrier Français, the Parisian illustrated weekly journal founded in 1884. The publication was known for its satirical content and its association with the artistic and literary life of Montmartre during the Belle Époque.

This example was issued as part of Les Affiches Illustrées, a series created by Chéret and printed at the Chaix Imprimerie between 1895 and 1900. The series was produced to make important contemporary posters available to collectors at a time when poster collecting was at its height. Each plate was printed by stone lithography with careful attention to quality and color.

Printed by Chaix, Paris. Stone lithography. In excellent condition.
