Leçons de Violin – Les Maîtres de l’Affiche – Paul Berthon
Original plate Leçons de Violin by Paul Berthon, published as part of the Les Maîtres de l’Affiche series.

Subscribers received four plates each month, printed by the Imprimerie Chaix in Paris under the artistic direction of Jules Chéret.
Paul Berthon (1872–1909) was a French Art Nouveau artist and lithographer, admired for his elegant line, decorative motifs, and refined use of color. His work reflects the aesthetics of the Art Nouveau period, often compared to Alphonse Mucha, and includes both poster design and decorative arts.
The plate was printed by Chaix, the foremost Parisian printer of posters at the time, whose work defined the visual culture of the 1890s.
