You may know that you are looking at a poster by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, but how do you know whether it is an original or a reproduction? Can you tell if the colours are right, and if the signature is genuine?
The Miller's Art Nouveau Checklist answers all such questions, with its analysis of the major collecting categories in Britain, the United States and continental Europe, including furniture, glass, ceramics, sculpture, silver, jewellery and metalwork, and posters. Each double-page "spread" shows how to identify and date an exemplary piece using the question and answer process unique to the Checklists, and then examines stylistic variations, fakes, contemporary copies and condition, as well as discussing other wares from the same craftsmen or factory, and, where appropriate, similar items from rival firms.
