Jules Chéret is the artist behind "Dessin original pour les 'Maîtres de l'Affiche'", dated 1897. It is listed in the Illustration collection. The image is in portrait orientation. Illustration in brief: Illustration serves a text or a story, a tradition that runs from decorated medieval manuscripts to printed book plates, magazines, and posters. Printing methods such as woodcut, engraving, lithography, and photomechanical reproduction each shaped how illustrators worked. Historical background, 1897: Japanese prints reached Europe in large numbers and influenced many artists, while photography changed what painting needed to do.
