Sagot's Gallery, 1898. Georges Alfred Bottini (French, 1874–1907). Color separation proof in gray; sheet: 38 x 28.1 cm (14 15/16 x 11 1/16 in.); image: 26.8 x 18.1 cm (10 9/16 x 7 1/8 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, John L. Severance Fund 1998.42.2 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 19th and early 20th century. 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.
