‎"L'écuyère"" - Lithographie originale sur Japon - L'Estampe Moderne‎

‎Paris: Imprimerie Champenoispour CH. MassonH. Piazza 1898. Fine. Imprimerie Champenois pour CH. Masson H. Piazza Paris Avril 1898 23.50 x 34.50 cm une feuille et une serpente Rare original lithograph printed in colors executed by Richard Ranft for L'Estampe Moderne series number 12 published in April 1898. One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on Japan paper with wide margins artist's signature in the plate publisher's dry stamp representing a child's profile in the lower margin numbered stamp of the deluxe printing on verso small dark dampstain with very slight loss to corner light trace of the stamp from the previous engraving on recto; engraving preceded by a tissue guard captioned with the artist's name title and an extract from a work; blank tissue guard. Lithograph inspired by an extract from Jeux du cirque written by Hugues Le Roux reproduced on the tissue guard of the print. Magnificent French monthly publication edited between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe moderne consists of unpublished chromolithographs which unlike other journals such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were created specially by each artist for the journal. Thus 100 prints appeared in total covering the major artistic movements of the end of the 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau Pre-Raphaelites Orientalists and Belle Époque. 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 on the most prestigious of papers: Japan paper. Thick silky satiny and pearlescent it contributes to making each page a work in its own right. Its quality of ink absorption and its affinity with colors also make it the ideal support for these very fine 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 support became precious and destined for preservation. Piazza decided to remove the poster from its advertising vocation and elevate it to the rank of a work of art in its own right on the same level as the illustrated deluxe 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 a style and composition close to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

‎Pierre PUVIS DE CHAVANNES - Armand DAYOT‎

‎"L'espérance"" - Lithographie originale sur Japon - L'Estampe Moderne‎

‎Paris: Imprimerie Champenoispour CH. MassonH. Piazza 1898. Fine. Imprimerie Champenois pour CH. Masson H. Piazza Paris Avril 1898 20.30 x 27 cm une feuille et une serpente Rare original lithograph in crayon manner executed by Pierre Puvis de Chavannes for L’Estampe Moderne dated 1 August 1869 from series no. 12 issued in April 1898. One of 50 deluxe proofs printed on japon paper with wide margins on vellum laid down on japon paper signed and dated in the plate with the publisher’s blindstamp of a child’s profile in the lower margin and numbered stamp of the deluxe issue on verso. A faint dark stain to one corner with slight offsetting of the preceding plate. Preceded by a tissue guard bearing the artist’s name title an excerpt of text and a short presentation of the engraving; with an additional blank tissue guard. Lithograph inspired by an excerpt from Armand Dayot reproduced on the tissue guard of the print. Magnificent French monthly publication issued between May 1897 and April 1899 L’Estampe Moderne consists of original chromolithographs which unlike other journals such as Les Maîtres de l’Affiche and as stated on the tissue guards were created expressly for the magazine by each artist. A total of 100 prints were issued reflecting the major artistic movements of the late 19th century: Symbolism Art Nouveau the Pre-Raphaelites Orientalism and the Belle Époque. Each instalment of four prints was published in 2000 copies priced at 3.50 francs with 100 on japon paper offered at 10 francs. Henri Piazza also planned an extremely limited de luxe printing: 50 copies on large-margined japon and 50 in black on china paper at the considerable price of 30 francs. This large-format plate is superbly printed on the most prestigious of papers: japon. Thick silky satiny and pearly it makes each sheet a work in its own right. Its ink absorption and affinity with colour also make it the ideal support for these magnificent lithographs. French collectors’ enthusiasm for artistic posters increased in the early 1890s. Octave Uzanne to describe this fervour coined the term affichomanie. The poster originally popular and pasted in the streets of Paris was elevated to the status of art object its ephemeral medium transformed into something precious and destined for preservation. Piazza’s ambition was to detach the poster from its advertising function and raise it to the rank of an art form in its own right on a par with the luxury illustrated book. He thus composed a prestigious collection of entirely original works by the most celebrated European artists of the day: Georges de Feure Eugène Grasset Henri Detouche Émile 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 and others. A fine example in the artist’s Symbolist manner. Imprimerie Champenoispour CH. MassonH. Piazza hardcover‎

Magnificent French monthly publication edited between May 1897 and April 1899 L'Estampe Moderne consists of unpublished chromolithographs which unlike other magazines such as Les Maîtres de l'Affiche and as stipulated on the tissue guards were specially created 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 very 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 rather to its particular affinities with printing ink. Its texture smooth and soft at once 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."" The poster originally popular and posted on the streets of the capital then became an art object and its ephemeral medium became precious and devoted to conservation. 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 luxury illustrated book.
