Napoléon Chaix founded a printing works in Paris and became known for railway timetables. When the firm bought Jules Chéret's lithographic workshop in 1881, it became the centre of colour-lithographed posters.
Chéret's cheerful, colourful posters were printed there, and the firm also printed for Toulouse-Lautrec, Mucha and others. The posters were pulled from several stones, one for each colour.
