Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec created this cover for the first album of "L'Estampe originale," a quarterly portfolio that commissioned leading artists of the day to design original prints, helping elevate lithography to a respected fine-art medium in 1890s Paris. The design reflects his innovative approach to commercial graphic art, using flat planes of color, bold contour, and dynamic cropping influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Toulouse-Lautrec's poster and print work fundamentally reshaped the visual language of French graphic design.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. The colors in Cover for the first album are richer than any version I found online. The image is so clean that I have looked at it with a magnifier.
I ordered in March and it is now June with no delivery and no answers. Nothing in Cover for the first album lines up with the close-up images on the product page. There is a chemical smell coming off it that has not faded in two weeks. It is sitting in a closet where I don't have to look at it.
I was nervous about ordering art online and this went smoothly. It captures Cover for the first album well enough that I stopped looking for a better one.
