Inner hinge cracked, else a fine copy. One of 40 on Japon Imperial (not to be compared to the ordinary edition). A work by Cappiello, the famous poster artist, with 18 marvelous, richly colored pochoir plates of contemporary actresses in their roles. Two are of Sarah Bernhardt, one in her role as Medea. Other actresses include Réjane, Marcelle Lender, Cecile Sorel, and others. "La Revue Blanche" was an important avant-garde art and literary review which was involved with emerging artistic movements. Cappiello's style marked the culmination of the Belle Époque and the beginning of revolutionary new trends and modern advertising. From the Preface: "Voici un artiste nouveau, une vision des types feminins, une façon neuve de traduire par le crayon et le pinceau l'impresion d'art."
