Originally started as a commercial studio producing wallpaper, it earned a reputation for elevating the process of stone lithography into an art form when it began in the 1920's to invite artists to create original posters and limited edition prints. Atelier Mourlot worked with such celebrated 20th century figures as Calder, Chagall, Dufy, Léger, Matisse, Miró, and Picasso, and was one of the largest and best known printer of lithographic art.
