Sagot's Gallery, 1898. Georges Alfred Bottini (French, 1874–1907). Color separation proofs in various colors ; sheet: 37.7 x 28.1 cm (14 13/16 x 11 1/16 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, John L. Severance Fund 1998.42 During the 1890s, there was a revived interest in color lithography in Paris. Originally considered a commercial art form, the medium was taken up by a growing number of printmakers as a means of formal experimentation. This print by Georges Bottini shows the shop of Edmond Sagot, a leading dealer of color lithographs during the late 1800s and early 1900s. A crowd of fashionably dressed young women gather before the windows of Sagot's shop, suggesting the growing status of color lithography at this time.
