About the Item
The original 1895 poster by Steinlen, titled "De Mazas à Jérusalem par Zo d'Axa," offers a compelling glimpse into the cultural and political landscape of the era. Created by renowned artist Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, this poster captures the essence of a significant literary journey undertaken by Zo d'Axa, a prominent French anarchist and journalist.
Steinlen's artistic prowess shines through in the poster's composition, which likely served as a visual invitation to engage with Zo d'Axa's writings and ideas. The juxtaposition of the mundane (represented by the reference to Mazas, a prison in Paris) with the exotic and mystical (symbolized by Jerusalem) hints at the transformative nature of Zo d'Axa's narrative journey.
As a leading figure in the anarchist movement, Zo d'Axa's writings often challenged conventional norms and advocated for social change. The poster's imagery, coupled with its enigmatic title, suggests a narrative of rebellion, exploration, and perhaps spiritual awakening—a journey from confinement to liberation, both literal and metaphorical.
Steinlen's bold use of line and form, combined with his keen understanding of visual storytelling, makes this poster not just a promotional tool but a work of art in its own right. It stands as a testament to the power of art to provoke thought, spark curiosity, and inspire action in the pursuit of social justice and intellectual freedom.

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen
Theophile Alexandre Steinlen was born in Lausanne in 1859. He was naturalized French in 1901. He was a painter, engraver, illustrator, poster artist and sculptor. Before settling in Paris, he made a detour to Mulhouse where one of his uncles placed him in the studio of one of the best lithographers of the time. He settled definitively in Montmartre in 1881. Willette introduced him to his companions of the Cabaret du Chat-Noir animated by Rodolphe Salis. He met Toulouse-Lautrec, Forain, Léandre, Debussy, Eric Satie, Verlaine, Alphonse Allais and Aristide Bruant. He took part in the performances of the famous cabaret's shadow theater with animal stories and, most often, sequences featuring cats, for which he has a particular affection. The felines will appear throughout his activity as "parentheses" in a tormented work. There is, in this torment, the expression of no personal problem but a painful compassion for the lives of the exploited and marginal beings. He painted and drew idylls, balls and bastrings, workers, kids and gosselin, the poor, the little workers, girls and marlous. He sometimes made posters. In the most successful of them (« Le lait pur de la Vingeanne » et le « Fer Bravais ») he imposed, relevant or not, the presence of cats.
In 1901, Steinlen worked for L'Assiette au beurre , the most virulent satirical newspaper ever published and takes readily to target the institutions of the 3rd Republic.
His works are found in numerous Public Collections, such as Petit Palais in Geneva, Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

- Circa 1900 Original poster for the Tillier dance Troup at the Palais de GlaceLocated in PARIS, FRThe girl who has entered the theatrical profession as a child can be depended upon to lead a clean life when she grows up. She is far, far safer than the girl who enters the profession after childhood.'

He and Mrs. Tiller began training youngsters at the age of nine. In the schools in London and Manchester, the girls had regular academic studies as well as dancing and were placed in Christmas pantomimes when still children. When they grew up, they were given jobs in various Tiller troupes (each managed by a mature woman who watched out for them)... [This lithograph]... was intended for all of the Tiller Troupe performances.
