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 and 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.

This poster was originally created for a third annual art competition and exhibition in Barcelona, hosted by the city council. Barcelona has long been a hub for the arts, and was also a hotbed of anarchist aggression at this time. During the period of this arts festival there was a bombing nearby, referred to as the "1896 Barcelona Corpus Christi procession bombing". This poster was created by Alexandre de Requer (1856-1920), a Catalan member of high society who studied in France. de Requer was a member of the pre-Raphaelite movement, an artistic style noted for its naturalistic attention to detail and light. He returned to Barcelona in the 1880s and worked commercially to support his very large family (he had nine children!).

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
