Les Maîtres de l'Affiche

A young woman in a yellow coat and a hat with a huge orange bow strides forward with a cane across her shoulders, under the red title To-Day. Dudley Hardy designed the poster for To-Day, the twopenny weekly magazine edited by Jerome K. Jerome. This is plate 216 of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, printed by Chaix in 1900.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Yellow, red and black on white, for a hallway, kitchen or home office at 12×18 or 16×24 in thin black, no mat. It lifts a white or pale grey wall and pairs with Hardy's A Gaiety Girl.

Size. We'd hang this one at 12×18. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?
The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.
Is To-Day in the public domain?
Yes. Dudley Hardy (1867–1922) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by The New York Public Library (Les Maîtres de l'Affiche.
What is it printed on?
Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.
When was To-Day painted, and in what medium?
To-Day dates from c. 1895 and was made in colour lithograph (Les Maîtres de l'Affiche plate after the poster); the original measures 39 × 29 cm.
What size works above a sofa or bed?
Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For To-Day we'd choose 12×18.
