"This
is the must-have book for anyone with an interest in posters and the period. Wonderful
pictures and informative text. a personal favorite, from my own extensive poster
library." Greg Yaneff
The Belle Epoque--France's "beautiful
era" that lasted from the 1890s to the beginning of World War I--was the golden
era of posters, when many of the world's classic designs were produced. The excitement
of this time is brought to life in this lavish collection of more than 200 full-color
posters--each completely annotated--that adorned Paris when artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
walked its streets.
The posters, culled from one of the best private collections
in the world, include the works of Toulouse-Lautrec, Mucha, Steinlen, Cappiello,
Cheret, Livemont, and other top posterists of the day. Jack Rennert's lengthy,
well-researched introduction illustrates the flavor of this magnificent era and
explains interesting production aspects of the lithographic art that produced
these masterpieces. Posters of the Belle Epoque is a must-have for the serious
poster collector.
