T.A. Steinlen: Various Artists: The Masters of the Poster — set of 19 original prints
Date / Publisher: Imprimerie Chaix, Paris (Lorilleux inks)
Original color lithographs (reproductions of large Belle Époque posters), each bearing the Chaix dry stamp in the lower right corner and the caption “Les Maîtres de l’Affiche PL. …” in the lower left corner; one unnumbered special edition plate, offered to subscribers (unpublished drawing). 18 numbered plates + 1 bonus plate = 19 sheets

Condition: Condition varies from sheet to sheet. The paper and margins show defects—tears, paper losses, stains, short/truncated margins, several sheets with water stains, creases, and damage to the corners (e.g., Vallotton PL. 119, missing section in the upper left corner; Chéret PL. 197, tears at the corners; Misti PL. 215, heavy browning; Rhead PL. 200, tear in the right margin; Ethel Reed PL. 99, tear at the top edge). The lithographed subjects (the images themselves), however, are generally in fine condition: these prints are ready to be framed; a mat will conceal the damaged margins and make them fully presentable.
