About Belle Époque Illustration

Vintage Illustration from the Belle Époque / Edwardian period:
1880 until 1915 / World War One

This should cover any vintage illustrations that come before the Jazz Age Illustration Group but that didn't have a home before!

And despite the name, we'd love to include illustration from this period from around the world, not just France & the UK..




Basic information here:

& here:

One large trend in this period of art & design history was Art Nouveau for which there are several separate groups here:

Nouveau-Deco: www.flickr.com/groups/nouveau-deco/
Art Nouveau Art: www.flickr.com/groups/59198799@N00/
Jugenstil-Art Nouveau: www.flickr.com/groups/42776760@N00/
Toulouse-Latrec: www.flickr.com/groups/toulouse-lautrec/

and I could only find one group on Beaux Arts style:

An illustrator who operated in this period and excelled -

But there were plenty of others whom I'd love to see here!
