Stanley Appelbaum, *The Complete “Masters of the Poster”*, Dover, 1990, pl. 196
Plate 196 from *Les Maîtres de l’Affiche*, the legendary subscription publication that appeared monthly in Paris from December 1895 to November 1900 under the artistic direction of Jules Chéret and printed by Imprimerie Chaix, reproducing the finest posters of the Belle Époque in collector’s format. Meunier, a Brussels-based poster artist and nephew of the sculptor Constantin Meunier, designed this poster for Starlight soap, printed by O. De Rycker in Brussels: a naked child crouching in a basin, a butterfly on the water, rendered in flat areas of color and a single sinuous outline—one of the icons of Belgian Art Nouveau.
