This post was originally published on this site

Henri Thiriet (1873–1946) was a French illustrator, poster artist, and painter known for his vibrant Art Nouveau style. Born in Épinal, he worked in Paris as a lithographer and became renowned between 1890 and 1910 for his advertising posters for brands like Omega and Dayton Cycles.

After World War I, Thiriet shifted to illustrating popular novels, including works by Georges Simenon (under pseudonyms). He also contributed to public art, creating murals in Créteil, where he served as deputy mayor from 1925 to 1942.
His art remains collectible today. Take a look at these striking posters illustrated by Henri Thiriet in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
