The original idea came from Jules Chéret, then artistic director of Chaix, a printing house located at 20 rue Bergère in Paris.
Each issue includes four posters reproduced in 29x40cm format and in chromolithography.
Each issue includes an authentication stamp.
The sale price per issue is 2,50 francs, the subscription 27 francs. There is a deluxe edition on Japanese paper with 100 copies sold for 80 francs for 12 issues.
In January 1897, a first volume containing all the posters published the previous year was offered for sale, preceded by an introduction signed by Roger Marx, in an album format bound by Jean Engel according to Paul Berthon's layout.
There were five volumes in all, until January 1901, for a total of 256 posters for 97 artists.
Each volume was accompanied by two or four drawings specially designed by an artist and reproduced using the chromolithographic process.
