Among them are hundreds of posters grouped under the heading Turn of the century posters, or reproductions of every page of the famous periodical Les maitres d'affiches (1896 - 1900), like the one from Toulouse-Lautrec at left.

The pictures can be downloaded for individual private study, scholarship and research only. For any other use, a fee has to be paid to the NYPL. Please note that the image at left is not reproduced from the NYPL site, but only serves as example of what could be found there.
