Plate 61, published in Maître 17, on April 1897.

The "Les Maitres de l'Affiche" contained 256 small format lithographic prints of the best posters of the Belle Époque and was offered as a subscription series to collectors, from December 1895 through November 1900, subscribers received by mail monthly 4 loose sheets (Maître) with a cover sheet. Maitre's were never issued in a book form.

A very high quality of paper was used, were as the large format posters were usually printed on lesser quality newsprint, due to cost and a short expected life span.
The quality of the printing, in the "Maitres de l'Affiche," usually far exceeds that of their larger counterparts and was offered for sale at the price of an original poster.

Librairie Loeb-Larocque specializes in maps, atlases, and travel books from the 16th to 19th centuries.
The Librairie was founded in 1958 by Louis Loeb-Larocque. Originally, he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He started an antiquarian map and book shop in Paris, specializing in early maps, atlases, travel books, and prints. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier until 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and fellow dealers from all parts of the world.
At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothéque Nationale de France (Metro Line 14).
