This review is from: The Complete "Masters of the Poster": All 256 Color Plates from "Les Maitres De L'Affiche" (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
An an interior designer and a collector of antique posters, I completely rely on this book. Roger Marx brings to us an amazing selection of posters ranging from whimsical prints to dramatic and romantic pieces as well as thorough information on each piece. Featured on the cover is my most treasured posession.

This review is from: The Complete "Masters of the Poster": All 256 Color Plates from "Les Maitres De L'Affiche" (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
As stated, the book contains all 256 plates. But there is almost no informational material. If you just want to know what was included in this series, this is your reference manual.

This review is from: The Complete "Masters of the Poster": All 256 Color Plates from "Les Maitres De L'Affiche" (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
For those interested in the poster or in Art Nouveau or in the history of printmaking, specifically lithography, this is an essential reference book. The "Masters of the Poster" portfolios were reduced size reproductions of selected advertising posters of the late 19th century and included works by Mucha, Cheret, Bonnard, Toulouse-Lautrec and many, many others. These reproductions were printed by one of the major lithographic printing houses of the time and sold as annual editions to subscribers. Many of these lithographs are still available in galleries, although expensive. This Dover book includes 256 of the posters which represents the basic subscription portfolio as well as the supplemental lithographs of drawings especially prepared for the subscribers. It is rare to find such a definitive work at such an inexpensive price.
