Atelier d Alesi PLM Cote d Azur Poster Chromolithographic Reproduction taken from a Stone Lithograph Poster by Louis Lessieux. Ca. 1905

The drawbacks of stone lithography – time consuming, prone to human error, color variations, printing stone problems – led Hugo d Alesi a travel poster artist himself, to embrace chromolithography (simili acquarelle) to reproduce stone lithograph travel posters, in the case, a poster by Louis Lessieux. Save for the simili acquarelle attribution on the bottom left or right, these posters were identical to the originals. They were produced as posters, used as posters, and today they sell as posters. A simili acquarelle poster of Mont Blanc sold at Christies in Jan 2011 for 1625 pounds. And more up to date, an Automobiles Bayard simili acquarelle poster sold at Bonhams on April 29 of this year for $3800. framed under Plexiglas..
