"Affiche" is a French term that translates to "poster" in English, and Jules Chéret is widely recognized as one of the pioneers of the artistic poster as we know it today. Chéret (1836–1932) was a French painter and lithographer who became a master in the art of Belle Époque poster art, a style that flourished in Paris in the late 19th century. His work is characterized by a vibrant use of color and dynamic composition, which brought life to the streets of Paris and transformed the aesthetic of advertising.

While the term "Affiche" by Jules Chéret could refer to any of his poster works, there is no single work by Chéret known specifically by this title. Chéret's posters often advertised cabarets, theatres, and products, and they were notable for their depiction of joyous, liberated women known as "Chérettes," who became icons of the era. These figures were often shown in free-flowing dresses, engaging in leisure activities, and they embodied the spirit of Parisian life.

Jules Chéret's contribution to graphic design and poster art was significant, as he was among the first to employ lithography, which allowed for mass production of colorful posters. This innovation not only made art more accessible to the general public but also elevated the poster to a recognized art form. His influence extended beyond advertising; Chéret's work played a crucial role in shaping the visual culture of his time and laid the groundwork for future artists in the Art Nouveau movement.

Chéret's posters are now highly collectible and are held in the collections of major museums around the world. His legacy includes not only his vast body of work but also his impact on the evolution of graphic design and visual advertising. In recognition of his contributions to the graphic arts, Chéret was awarded the Légion d'honneur by the French government in 1890. The Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris hosted a retrospective of his work in 1933, a year after his death, cementing his status as one of the fathers of modern poster art.
