At that time, the streets of all large cities in the world were full of large-format, colorful, lively poster images. Advertising posters began to be regarded as works of art, and published as fine prints. Imprimerie Chaix played a great part in popularizing poster designs, as well as in keeping record of the artistic movement as a whole.
