Jules Chéret - La Gomme from "Les Maitre de L'Affiches" series - original, turn of the century French stamped lithograph
Ready to frame, includes Certificate of Authenticity and Letter of Value
In 1895, Chéret created the Maîtres de l'Affiche collection, a significant art publication of smaller sized reproductions featuring the best works of ninety-seven Parisian artists. His success inspired an industry that saw the emergence of a new generation of poster designers and painters such as Charles Gesmar and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
In his old age Jules Chéret retired to the balmy climate of the French Riviera at Nice. He passed away in 1932 at the age of ninety-six. In 1933 he was honored with a posthumous exhibition of his work at the prestigious Salon d'Automne in Paris. Over the years, Chéret's posters became much sought after by collectors from around the world.
