"Rhead was one of the first poster artists to gain an international
reputation. Born in England he was quite active in London, New York
and Paris with equal success: his exhibition of posters in New York
in 1895 was America's first, and was well received. He was heavily
influenced by Grasset, whom he admired and met while in Paris"
(Rennert, PAI-XXVI 513)
Not unlike the Maitre de L'Affiche series, L'Estampe Modern was a
portfolio printed between 1897-98, published by Imprimerie Champenois,
Paris, contained 24 monthly portfolios, with four original lithographs
in each. Each commissioned only for this series. As well as Mucha,
some of the contributing artists included Rhead, Meunier, Ibels, Steinlen,
Willette and Grasset. This is from the series with the blindstamp
in the margin lower right corner.
