About the period around 1899: The later nineteenth century is the era of Impressionism, whose first group exhibition was held in Paris in 1874, followed by Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, and the Arts and Crafts movement. In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form. Plants & Animals, a short history: Images of plants and animals are valued both for the care of their observation and for their decorative appeal.

The image is in portrait orientation.
