It showcased the most influential posters of the era in a collectible small format. This particular image was created by the American artist Charles Woodbury for the publication The July Century. The clarity of the design demonstrates the Japanese influence in Woodbury's image. Its simplicity was very much against the trend of poster designs of the era. Charles H. Woodbury was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, where his earliest work was part of the oeuvre of the group later known as the Lynn Beach Painters. While an undergraduate at MIT he became a regular exhibitor at, and at 19 the youngest member of, the Boston Art Club . After graduation from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (with degree in Mechanical Engineering), in 1886 Woodbury had great success painting up the New England coast and in the towns and beaches of Nova Scotia and exhibiting the results. From January to June 1891 he was a pupil of the Académie Julian in Paris, after which he went to Holland, where he studied the techniques of the modern Dutch painters. Upon his return to New England he settled in Boston for his winter studio and spent his summers in the small fishing village of Ogunquit, Maine; there he founded one of the most successful of the summer art colony schools that even survived his death. He was one of the most sought-after teachers of his generation, having begun teaching on a regular basis while a freshman at M.I.T. Ironically, he had little formal training himself other than a few months of classes at the Academy Julian in Paris. Like Winslow Homer, another New England painter with an affinity for summers in Maine, he preferred \"to work out his salvation with little help from others in his profession\". Nevertheless, Woodbury maintained a close friendship with John Singer Sargent and a pleasant acquaintance with many of his contemporaries including J. Alden Weir and Childe Hassam.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\n\u003cp\u003eJules Chéret (1836-1932) was known as the \"Father of the Modern Poster.\" He was a French painter and lithographer who traveled to England as an apprentice and introduced the latest lithography techniques to French culture. Paired with his creativity and artistic flair, Chéret began creating advertisements for cabarets, music halls, and theaters. His artwork is typified by his influence of the Rococo movement to create vivid advertising, often featuring free-spirited young women that became known as \"Chérettes.\" These figures have become quintessential Belle Epoque imagery. Chéret's posters earned him a gold medal at the Paris World's Fair in 1889. This particular advertisement crafted by Cheret announces that the grand prix of Paris’s nouveau (new) sport of horse racing will take place at Porte Maillot, one of Paris’s entry points in the 19th century. The word Hippodrome, as observed on the poster, is simply defined as the formal title of the stadium in which such races take place.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an original vintage print, not a reproduction.
