Originally a painter of marine views and landscapes his work later included lithographs and etchings that, as with the works of many of his peers, was influenced by contemporary Japanese art. He exhibited with great success at the Universal Expositions of 1886, 1889, and 1900. L’Estampe Moderne (Modern Print): was a French monthly publication published between May 1897 and April 1899, which proposed 4 original lithographs in each of its issues. The aim was to promote the art of printmaking by commissioning images from noted Art Nouveau artists, such as Alphonse Mucha, Louis Rhead, Marcel-Lenoir, Henri Boutet, Henri Fantin-Latour, Edward Burne-Jones and Théophile Steinlen. On the introductory prospectus, the first issue is announced at the price of 3.50 francs, for 4 unpublished prints in color, which puts the engraving at less than one franc piece. The annual subscription was 40 francs and the subscriber received two "premium plates" (the first was designed by Alfons Mucha). The first four plates are: Women of Riff of Girardot, Merchant laces of Malteste, Fall of Ménard and Corinne of Réalier-Dumas. Each engraving was presented in a portfolio folder on which print references were printed and a generally poetic text related to the motif. On each print, unsigned by hand, however, was affixed a colorless dry stamp of authentication representing a head disheveled child. The dimensions are 26.6 cm x 33.4 cm and the paper is a vellum. The circulation was 2,000 copies in current edition and 150 copies on Japan. There were a total of 24 issues, or 96 plates, not including the 6 "premium" plates for subscribers. – These prints are much sought after in the current art world. –
