L'affiche belge; essai critique, biographie des artistes, avec plus de cent reproductions d'affiches et vingt-huit portraits en simili-gravure. Letters ornées et culs de lampe d'après les dessins de Combaz, Crespin, Lynen. Dessins originaux faits spécialement pour l'ouvrage
A critical essay and artist biography on Belgian posters, published by the author in Toulouse in 1897 by Alexander Demeure de Beaumont, with more than a hundred poster reproductions and twenty-eight portraits in halftone for collectors and art readers. The pictures are rust-red poster reproductions in a loose Art Nouveau manner: a newspaper reader behind the masthead La Réforme, a seated woman with a hand mirror and toilet bottles, a man at a ship rail, and a fashionable woman with a cane beneath Le Cénacle. A designer might take from them the tight integration of lettering with figure, and the limited single-ink palette.
