Maîtres de l'Affiche (Masters of the Poster) refers to 256 color lithographic plates used to create an art publication during the Belle Époque in Paris, France. The collection, reproduced from the original works of ninety-seven artists in a smaller 11 x 15 inch format, was put together by Jules Chéret, the father of poster art and distributed between 1895 – 1900. The varied selection of prints were sold in packages of four and delivered monthly to subscribers. Designed for a subscription audience it showcased the most influential posters of the era in a collectible small format.
Dudley Hardy (1866 – 1922) was an English painter and illustrator. In this image for Abbotts Phit-eesi’s boots and shoes, three figures are placed in the central most aspect of the frame, with their back turned toward the yellow lettering that reads "Abbotts Phit-eesi", each donning different variations of the store’s shoe selection.
