EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Affiche pour la publication des 'oeuvres de Rabelais'." created by Jules Cheret in 1898, transports us back to the Belle Époque era in Paris, France. Published by Imprimerie Chaix, this stunning work of art is a testament to the Maitres de l'Affiche movement, a significant period in the history of graphic arts. The image features an elderly man, dressed in a coat and top hat, holding a sword and standing before a castle fortification. Two other figures, a man and a woman, join him, gazing at the text below. The text, written in French, reads "Publication des Oeuvres de Rabelais," announcing the publication of the works of the renowned French author, François Rabelais. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this lithograph exemplify the Art Nouveau style, which was popular during the late 19th century. The use of lower case letters and the elegant lettering adds to the overall aesthetic of the piece. The image is reminiscent of a scene from a medieval tale, with the castle fortifications, swords, and the elderly man's attire. This lithograph is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the rich cultural history of France and its literary heritage. It is a beautiful addition to any art collection, and its vintage charm makes it a popular choice among art enthusiasts and collectors. The New York Public Library's Wallach Division Picture Collection is fortunate to have this piece in its vast collection, allowing us to appreciate and learn from it for generations to come.
