About This Book

A survey of the artists working in and around Montmartre, offering biographical sketches and close readings of their illustrative techniques and subjects. Individual chapters profile figures such as Steinlen, Caran d’Ache, Toulouse-Lautrec, Vallotton, Morin, Huard, Willette, Léandre, Forain, and others, and reproduce representative plates and posters. The narrative traces how cabaret, theatre and street life shaped caricature, woodcut, and poster art, contrasts humour and sympathy in depiction of popular characters, and concludes by considering the district’s artistic temperament and arguing for a national collection of black-and-white work.

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

The following French words, misspelled or with accented letters, were corrected, but others may have been missed. Also, when the same misspelling occurred more than once, it was not changed.

Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. In versions of this eBook that support hyperlinks, the page references in the List of Illustrations lead to the corresponding illustrations.

The poor image quality of “Deux Amis” occurs in at least three different copies of the original book, and probably was printed that way.
