Born 1836 in Paris, French painter and lithographer Jules Chéret began a three-year apprenticeship with a lithographer at the age of 13 and then his interest in painting led him to take an art course at the École Nationale de Dessin.

| Posters by Jules Chéret in the 19th century |
From 1859 to 1866, Chéret was trained in lithography in London, England, where he was strongly influenced by the British approach to poster design and printing. On returning to France, he created vivid poster ads for the cabarets, music halls, and theaters such as the Eldorado, the Olympia, the Folies Bergère, Théâtre de l'Opéra, the Alcazar d'Été and the Moulin Rouge. He also created posters and illustrations for the satirical weekly Le Courrier français.
Chéret became a master of Belle Époque poster art. He has been called the father of the modern poster. In his old age, Chéret retired to the pleasant climate of the French Riviera at Nice. He died in 1932 at the age of 96 and was interred in the Cimetière Saint-Vincent in the Montmartre quarter of Paris.
These amazing posters are part of his work that Chéret designed from the 19th century.
