About the Collection (L'Estampe Moderne)
L'Estampe Moderne appeared in 1897-1899 as a series of 24 monthly fascicles, each containing 4 original lithographs, printed by Parisian Imprimerie Champenois. Many accomplished European Art Nouveau painters contributed works to this publication, which contained only Original prints invented and produced especially for this collection. The publication was edited by Charles Masson and H. Piazza. Each issue came in a paper cover bearing an original lithograph by Alphonse Mucha.
Each lithograph was accompanied by a tissue containing the details (title of the artwork, name of the artist, etc.) and a short text by a well-known author who inspired the artist (this one being from "Le Train de 8h 47" by French dramatist and novelist Georges Courteline).

About the artist
Jacques Baseilhac (Trébons, 1873 - Savigny-sur-Orge, 1903), was a French painter and lithographer .
He took painting and drawing classes at the Académie Julian from 1891 to 1894, and was taught by Jean-Paul Laurens. He then exhibited regularly at the Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, notably landscapes and inhabitants of Penmarch, a town in Britanny.
He contributed to several satirical and artistic periodicals such as L'Assiette au beurre, Le Rire and of course L'Estampe Moderne.
Having been his life very short, his artworks are pretty are.

from the text on the tissue paper, by Georges Courteline:
\. Alors le souper commença, l'assaut général au bricheton, la chasse aux quarts régulièrement disparus, à l'heure des repas, passés d'une chambre à l'autre sans que l'on sût comment, ou en ballade sous les lits.
De chaque côté de la table, on se massait comme on pouvait, une lignée de calots gris, de tricots bruns et de chemises écrues faisant face à une lignée de tricots bruns, de chemises écrues et de calots gris.
On se sentait les coudes et les hanches un peu bien: n'importe, il y avait place pour tout le monde; toujours quelque retardataire se présentait, enjambait le banc, et creusait, tant bien que mal, son trou entre deux corps, quitte à soulever autour de soi des protestations féroces:
- Ah! ben non, en voilà assez!
- Chouya! Chouya!
- Enlevez-le!
- On crève, ici!
Mais ce n'est pas au régiment qu'on s'émeut pour si peu de chose. Le conspué, en présence du tolle général, demeurait calme et inodore, — autant toutefois que le pouvait permettre cette température de poêle surchauffé.
