L’Estampe Moderne: A Pinnacle of Art Nouveau Lithography
Overview:
Published from 1897 to 1899, L’Estampe Moderne was a prestigious subscription series offering 24 monthly installments of original lithographic plates. Each installment included four finely crafted prints, intended to showcase the creativity and elegance of the Art Nouveau movement.
Production and Artists:
The series was printed by the renowned Champenois Imprimerie in Paris, a printer famous for their work with Alphonse Mucha. Each plate bore an embossed Art Nouveau emblem in the bottom-right corner, signaling authenticity. Unlike Les Maîtres de l’Affiche, which reproduced existing posters, L’Estampe Moderne featured entirely original works created specifically for the publication. Notable contributors included Alphonse Mucha, Louis Rhead, and other celebrated artists of the era.
