His 1895 lithograph entitled Les Chanteurs des Rues was the frontispiece to a work entitled Chansons de Montmartre published by Éditions Flammarion with sixteen original lithographs illustrating the Belle Époque songs by Paul Delmet. His permanent home, Montmartre and its surroundings, was a favorite topic throughout Steinlen's life and he often painted scenes of some of the toughest aspects of life in the area. In addition to paintings and drawings, he also sculpture on a limited basis, highlighting figures of cats that had great affection for as seen in many of his paintings.
