First Annual Exhibition in the United States | Maitre de L’Affiche: Plate #112

This artwork is from Les Maitres de L’Affiche series; miniature versions of outstanding stone lithograph artworks of the most important advertising posters by the finest artists. “The rich effects of his poster designs were conveyed by the disposition of sharp lines and flat areas of limited colour. Like Dow (see PL.36), another native Massachusetts artist, Woodbury founded his sense of design on familiarity with Japanese art, championed by Fenollosa at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Woodbury’s six posters received favourable comment from American and European critics” (Lauder p.192)
