Das Moderne Plakat (The Modern Poster)

Printed in Dresden by Verlag von Gerhard Kuhtmann in 1897. 52 lithograph plates including Lautrec, Steinlen, Beggarstaff, Mucha, and others. A truly wonderful printing of poster design, with many not found in any other other format today.

By the end of the 19th century, during an era known as the Belle Époque, the standing of the poster as a serious artform was raised even further, with the publication of the ‘Maîtres de l’Affiche’ (Masters of the Poster) series and Das Moderne Plakat (The Modern Poster) both of which not only enjoyed commercial success among art collectors, but are now seen as important historical publications, as many of the posters cannot be found today in any other format.
