Henri Thiriet’s Striking Posters from the Belle Époque Era
Henri Thiriet (1873–1946) was a talented French artist celebrated for his striking Art Nouveau creations. Hailing from Épinal, he pursued his craft in Paris as a lithographer and gained prominence between 1890 and 1910 for designing eye-catching advertising posters for brands such as Omega and Dayton Cycles.
Following World War I, Thiriet transitioned to illustrating popular novels, including works by Georges Simenon (published under pseudonyms). His artistic contributions extended to public spaces, with murals in Créteil, where he also served as deputy mayor from 1925 to 1942.
