1866 - Senefelder's lithograph press can produce a run of 1000 posters in an hour. Chéret, Tiepolo understudy decides that galleries are no place for his new works, fuck it fine art for the masses. The new Barron Haussmann cannon friendly wide boulevards of the new stark Paris will provide an ample canvas for my posters. Covered from gutter to street lamp the exodus of fine art to eyes of low class. Maitres de L'Affich follow - Lautrec, Gilroy, Cappiello, Bouisset. Jules Chéret king ding.
