Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1897 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph reproduces Théophile Steinlen’s celebrated poster for Lait Pur de la Vingeanne Stérilisé, one of the most beloved advertising designs of the Belle Époque. The image shows a young girl drinking a glass of milk while three eager cats look on. Steinlen drew inspiration directly from his daughter and household pets, bringing warmth, intimacy, and humor to the commercial poster.
Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was one of the first journals devoted entirely to poster art, produced in limited numbers for the growing collector market. Published under Jules Chéret’s artistic direction at the Chaix atelier, the series presented stone-lithograph reductions of important contemporary posters, printed on fine paper. These editions allowed subscribers to own authentic examples of poster art in a practical, collectible format.
Steinlen, famed for his depictions of Montmartre life and cats, created in this design a perfect fusion of everyday charm and Art Nouveau elegance. Today, Lait Pur Stérilisé remains one of the most recognizable and endearing French posters of the period.

Original stone-lithograph plate printed circa 1896 at Imprimerie Chaix (Paris) for Les Affiches Illustrées. This reduced-format lithograph for Jules Chéret’s famous poster for Quinquina Dubonnet, the French apéritif wine infused with quinine.
First created in 1846 by Joseph Dubonnet, the fortified wine was promoted not only as a fashionable aperitif but also as a tonic with supposed health benefits. By the 1890s it had become a household name, thanks in part to striking posters like those of Chéret. His design for Dubonnet features an exuberant female figure in swirling dress and ribbons, raising a glass with infectious energy — the very embodiment of the Belle Époque’s joie de vivre.
Les Affiches Illustrées (1896–1899) was among the first collector series dedicated to poster art, issued in small editions. Produced at the Chaix atelier under Chéret’s supervision, each plate was a carefully executed stone-lithograph reduction of a major affiche, printed on fine paper. These works allowed collectors to own high-quality, authentic examples of poster art in a more practical format than the large affiches that covered Parisian walls.
