One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on Japan paper with wide margins artist's signature and date in the plate publisher's dry stamp representing a child's profile in the lower margin numbered stamp of the deluxe printing on the verso. Magnificent French monthly publication edited between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne consists of previously unpublished chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specially by each artist for the magazine. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Epoque. Each delivery of four prints was issued in 2000 copies sold for 3.50F and 100 on Japan paper offered at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a confidential deluxe printing: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This print of handsome format is superbly printed in colors on the most prestigious of papers: Japan paper. Thick silky satined and pearlescent it contributes to making each page a complete work in itself. Its quality of ink absorption and its affinity with colors also make it the ideal support for these very beautiful lithographs. The interest of French collectors in artistic posters grew at the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne to qualify this fever invented the term ""affichomanie."" The poster originally popular and pasted on the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral medium became precious and destined for preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising vocation and elevate it to the rank of a complete work of art on the same level as the deluxe illustrated book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most prominent European artists of the moment: 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. Handsome copy in the artist's Art Nouveau style.

1990014906A promotional poster "In Celebration of Maurice Sendak" depicting many beloved characters created and illustrated by children's book author Maurice Sendak 1928-2012 pen signed by the artist as "Maurice Sendak" at lower right. Also signed in stone as "Maurice Sendak / Feb. 90" at lower right. Near fine. 20" x 16". This colorful collage incorporates Maurice Sendak's most famous children's book characters from "Kenny's Window" 1956; "The Sign on Rosie's Door" 1960; "The Nutshell Library" 1962 comprised of "Pierre" "Alligators All Around" "Chicken Soup with Rice" and "One Was Johnny"; "Where the Wild Things Are" 1963; "In the Night Kitchen" 1970; and "Outside Over There" 1981. This poster was originally produced in 1990 in advance of the much anticipated republication of Sendak's earlier books. This is an example of one of the original more desirable promotional posters from 1990. Sendak's republication project was delayed and the poster image was eventually revised and printed in 2001 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the beginning of Sendak's career as a children's book artist. The 10-year delay prevented a wider distribution of the original poster from 1990. Maurice Sendak was an award-winning children's book illustrator and author. Always interested in design Sendak began his career by illustrating comic books and designing toy company shop windows. After writing and illustrating a series of incredibly popular children's books Sendak also created wrote and produced animated children's television programs.The poster may ship rolled in a tube. .

Magnificent French monthly publication edited between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne consists of original chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specially by each artist for the magazine. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Epoque. Each delivery of four prints was printed in 2000 copies sold for 3.50F and 100 on Japan paper offered at 10F. Henri Piazza also planned a confidential deluxe printing: 50 copies on Japan paper with wide margins and 50 in black on China paper at the considerable price of 30F. This print of handsome format is superbly printed on one of the most prestigious papers: China paper. ""Despite all its qualities China paper too inconsistent owes its reputation not to its own beauty but to its particular affinities with printing ink. Its texture smooth and soft together is more apt than any other to receive a beautiful printing. This property makes China paper sought after for printing engravings."" Anatole France. French collectors' interest in artistic posters intensified at the beginning of the 1890s. Octave Uzanne to qualify this fever invented the term ""affichomanie"" poster mania. The poster originally popular and posted in the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral medium became precious and devoted to preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising purpose and elevate it to the rank of a complete work of art on the same level as the deluxe illustrated book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most prominent European artists of the moment: 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. Handsome copy in the Belle époque style.
