The “Estampes Décoratives” were published by the printer G. de Malherbe beginning in 1896.
They consisted of five pairs, each pair of identical dimensions, depicting beautiful women surrounded by flowers and foliage. The most spectacular were “Danger” and “Meditation”.
Between 1896 and 1898, Eugène Grasset exhibited six of his “Decorative Prints”, two at a time at each exhibition of La Libre Esthétique, and in 1898 he presented six lithographs at the first exhibition of the Vienna Secession.
In the 1970s, the American dealer and collector Bob Walker owned all ten original watercolors
which had served as models for the lithographs.
