Reynaud’s hand-drawn sequences predated the moving pictures of Lumiere by three years, and the first public screening of Edison’s Vitascope by four. Between 1892 and 1900, there were 12,800 performances attended by more than 500,000 customers. However, regular motion pictures, perfected by others, eventually left him in virtual obscurity and forgotten in history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Les Maitres de L'Affiche:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaîtres de l'Affiche (Masters of the Poster) refers to 256 color lithographic plates used to create an art publication during the Belle Époque in Paris, France.

By 1849 he filed for a patent for \"Papier JOB\". In the late 1890s, the company hired art nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha, as well as many other artists, to design advertising posters for the brand.
