The High’s collection of posters encompasses designs by celebrated artists such as Jules Chéret and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and by commercial illustrators such as René Ravo and Francisque Poulbot. The posters advertise a variety of products, from cabaret performers and entertainment venues to political newspapers and trade magazines. Stylistically they range from Belle Époque vivaciousness to modernist sleekness.
