Authenticating Jules Cheret Artwork and Posters,
By
This review is from: The Posters of Jules Cheret: 46 Full-Color Plates and an Illustrated Catalogue Raisonne, Second, Revised and Enlarged Edition (Paperback)
This is the authoritative source for all the artwork and posters of Jules Cheret, who perfected color lithography in the late 1800's. There are a number of color slides of original Jules Cheret posters plus excellent descriptive information to help one identify a suspected Jules Cheret poster. The catalog is by theme or advertiser without an index or table of contents to help one located the exact page where, let's say, Moulin-Rouge or Olympia might start. This does then force scanning to find the start of the catagory one might want - an inconvenience. In spite of this, once you discover the catagory area, the material is informative and precise enough to help with identification.

A small note on book contents,

This review is from: The Posters of Jules Cheret: 46 Full-Color Plates and an Illustrated Catalogue Raisonne, Second, Revised and Enlarged Edition (Paperback)
Just to give a little info on book contents - this product is mainly a listing of works by Cheret with date and size. There are smaller (2"x3") black and white poster examples peppered among the listings on these pages. The middle third of this book is then full color examples of his better known works. Other than this, there is a little 2 or 3 page history of the artist in the beginning of the book and a few pages of the smaller black and white examples organized in a grid layout at the end of the book. I consider it a wonderful reference but wanted to warn others that it wasn't all large full color examples like some books of this type.
