The Broadside
The history of the poster starts with black-and-white broadsides in the 1600s, which evolved in the wake of the printing press.

The Declaration of Independence is also a famous example; printed as a broadside, news of the victorious revolution spread quickly throughout the American colonies.
The first 150-200 copies of the Declaration of Independence were broadsides, printed by John Dunlap of Philadelphia on July 4, 1776.

Artist Biographies
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
(French, 1864–1901)
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born to an aristocratic family in Albi, in southern France. He spent his childhood in various family chateaux and began taking informal sketching and painting lessons from a family friend. He showed an unusual skill from an early age and was especially adept at capturing the movement of horses. In 1882 Lautrec moved to Paris, where he studied painting under Léon Bonnat. He settled in Montmartre, a bohemian district in the north of the city, and frequented cabarets, dance halls, and café-concerts that lined the streets. His first poster—for the Moulin Rouge dance hall in 1891—was an overnight sensation and made Lautrec’s name. Lautrec completed thirty posters before his untimely death at age thirty-six in 1901.
