Title
Two girls at the printing press
Description

This lithograph is typical of Berthon's Art Nouveau style. Berthon mainly produced posters; in 1900 he made this print for the Salon des Arts Libéraux. The poster was also printed in editions without letters for collectors. Only a few copies with the letters have survived.

It is interesting to see two women pictured near a printing press. For many centuries, printing and printmaking was a world dominated by men. Although we do not know whether Berthon was sending a message to the visitors to the Salon, the poster seems to introduce the 20th-century printing revolution, which will see women play a central role in disseminating powerful images and texts.
