THEOPHILE-ALEXANDRE STEINLEN (1859-1923) COCORICO. Circa 1899. 23 3/4x17 1/4 inches, 60 1/2x44 cm. Condition A- / B+: crease through lower right corner and in image; repaired tear along top edge; abrasions in image. Cocorico was a magazine published between 1898 and 1902. As a literary and artistic publication, its main role was to promote the Art Nouveau movement and its primary artists included Mucha, Steinlen, de Feure, Villon and many others. In all, there were 63 issues. The name of the periodical is the French term for "cock-a-doodle-doo," the crowing of a rooster. In this instance, Steinlen employs the title as an exceptional wake-up call for the world to notice this little magazine and the big ideas contained within. This is the smaller format without text.
