A whirlwind of posters, placards, handbills, and postcards celebrates the art of printing—and specifically that of Albert Bergeret. Prouvé had painted their family portrait the previous year, and Bergeret returned to him for this promotion. At the beginning of the 20th century, A. Bergeret & Cie. was already an internationally renowned company that specialized in collotype work and fantastical postcards. By 1903, they produced 75 million cards, as well as tourist albums, brochures, and other publications. This poster is signed “d'après Prouvé.”
