One of 50 'grand luxe' prints with wide margins signed by the artist in the plate publisher's stamp to lower margin de luxe printing numbered stamp to verso upper margin slightly sunned; the plate itself preceded by a silk tissue with the name of the artist title a poem and a caption - a tear to the tissue not affecting the text. A lithograph inspired by Gustave Flaubert's Salammbô with a excerpt from the novel printed on the silk protective paper: And Salammbô went out onto the balcony of her palace. L'Estampe moderne was a magnificent monthly French publication published between May 1897 and April 1899. It included unpublished chromolithographs specially made by each artist for the magazine as mentioned on the protective silk tissue over each plate unlike other publications such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche. 100 prints were published in total covering major artistic movements of the late 19th-century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle époque'. 2000 copies were printed of each fascicule containing four prints and sold for 3.50F. 100 copies were printed on papier japon for 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a very luxurious secret print of 50 copies on papier japon with wide margins and 50 in black and white on papier chine at the considerable price of 30F. This well-sized print is superbly printed in colors on the most prestigious of papers: japon. Thick creamy satin and with a nice sheen it contributes to making each page a work of art in itself. Its qualities of absorption and its affinity for colors make it the ideal support for these lovely lithographs. The interest of French collectors for artistic posters grew from the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne invented a term for this new form of collection: affichomanie' or poster mania. The initially common poster displayed in the streets of Paris became a work of art and its ephemeral material became precious and made to last. Piazza decided to separate the poster from its advertising role and to elevate it to a form of art similarly to luxury illustrated artists' books. He put together a prestigious collection of entirely original artworks by the most fashionable European artists: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc. He also included in this project a Czech artist freshly arrived in Paris Alfonse Mucha who has only recently become active in France but immediately carved out for himself the affection of the public. Like his posters which everyone knows and covets he shows us here the varied resources of his multifaceted talents as accomplished draughstman decorator and colorist from the notes printed on the silk protective paper of Salomé. The two first special numbers of the journal were in fact dedicated to him and were given to all the subscribers for all twelve annual numbers of L'Estampe moderne as well as the famous illustration of the covers.

Artist's signature on the board and number of the tirage de luxe added in pencil. A magnificent monthly French publication that appeared between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne comprised unpublished chromolithographs that unlike those in other magazines like Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as is stipulated on the guard sheets were specially made by each artist for the magazine. There are thus 100 prints that appeared in total covering the major artistic currents of the late 19th Century: Symbolism Art Nouveau the Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and the Belle époque. Each fascicule of four prints was printed in 2000 copies and sold for 3.50F with 100 on Japan paper sold at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a very luxurious secret printing of 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black and white on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This well-sized print is superbly printed in colors on the most prestigious of papers: Japan. Thick creamy satin and with a nice sheen it contributes to making each page a work of art in itself. Its absorptive qualities for ink and its affinity for colors make it the ideal support for these lovely lithographs.The interest of French collectors for artistic posters grew from the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne invented a term for this growing interest: affichomanie or poster mania. The poster originally not rare and posted up in the streets of the capital thus became a work of art and its ephemeral background became precious and essential for conservation.Piazza decided to extract the poster from its advertising role and to elevate it to a form of art similarly to luxury illustrated artists' books. He thus put together a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most fashionable European artists of the age: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Emile Berchmans Louis Rhead Gaston de Latenay Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer Gustave-Max Stevens Charles Doudelet Hans Christiansen Henri Fantin-Latour Steinlen Ibels Engels Willette Henri Meunier Evenepoël Bellery-Desfontaines Charles Léandre etc.He also included in this project a Czech artist freshly arrived in Paris Alfonse Mucha who has only recently become active in France but who has immediately carved out for himself the affection of the public. Like in his posters which everyone knows and covets he shows us here the varied resources of his multifaceted talents as accomplished draughstman decorator and colorist from the notes printed on the guard for Salomé. The two first special numbers of the review were in fact dedicated to him and were given to all the subscribers for all twelve annual numbers of L'Estampe moderne as well as the famous illustration of the covers.A very beautiful copy.
