L'Estampe Moderne was a portfolio printed from May 1897 to April 1899, published by Imprimerie Champenois, Paris. 

The series contained 24 monthly portfolios with four lithographs in each. Each print is an original work created and commissioned only for this series. There were also four supplements, making a total of 100 prints in this 24 month series. Each of the lithographs has the embossed stamp in the lower right corner.

The aim was to promote the art of printmaking by commissioning images from noted Art Nouveau artists, such as Alphonse Mucha, Theophile Steinlen, Louis Rhead, Henri Evenepoel, Georges de Feure, Henri Boutet, Eugene Grasset and many more.
