About the collection (L’Estampe Moderne)
L’Estampe Moderne was published from 1897 to 1899 as a series of 24 monthly issues, each containing 4 original lithographs printed by the Parisian Imprimerie Champenois. Many seasoned European Art Nouveau painters contributed to this publication, which contained only original prints specially invented and produced for this collection. The publication was edited by Charles Masson and H. Piazza. Each issue was presented with a paper cover featuring an original lithograph by Alphonse Mucha.
Each lithograph was accompanied by a handkerchief containing the details (title of the work, name of the artist, etc.) and a short text by a famous author who inspired the artist (specifically, the poem 'Les Fraises' by the French poet Pierre Dupont).

About the artist
Eugène Jérôme Auguste Roedel (1859 - 1900) was a French illustrator, poster artist, caricaturist, watercolorist, and lithographer, who signed his works 'Roedel'.
He met Jules Chéret shortly before 1890 and began producing posters for Imprimerie Chaix, including Linge Monopole Maxime Faivret, which, unlike the Chérette (the tall, active woman typical of Chéret), promoted a rounder woman.
In 1895, he became the official poster designer of the Moulin Rouge; he also organized various artistic events with his dissident friends from the cabaret Le Chat Noir, including Adolphe Léon Willette.
Damaged by absinthe abuse, Roedel died suddenly in Paris on April 13, 1900.
Her works are exhibited in several international museums (Musée Carnavalet and Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, etc.), and sold by international auctioneers around the world.

According to the text about tissue paper (in French).
Among the romances of our fathers, some were less frankly inept than 'Partant pour la Syrie'; there are even some — of which we know too little — that are true little masterpieces of sentiment and poetry. Such are the verses of Pierre Dupont that more than one of the pretty women of times gone by had to sing, accompanied by a harp, as evoked by the delicate pencil of Rodel.
