"Illustration for La Maison Tellier by Guy de Maupassant (1850–1893), Front Cover of Gil Blas, 9th October 1892" is a notable work by Swiss-born French Art Nouveau painter and printmaker Théophile Alexandre Steinlen (1859–1923). This illustration was created for the front cover of the French literary magazine "Gil Blas" to accompany the serialized publication of "La Maison Tellier," a short story by the acclaimed French writer Guy de Maupassant. The story, which was first published in 1881, is a classic example of Maupassant's skill in exploring the complexities of human nature through the lens of everyday life.

Steinlen's illustration captures the essence of the story, which revolves around the lives of the inhabitants of a small-town brothel. Known for his ability to depict the Parisian social milieu with empathy and wit, Steinlen's artwork for "La Maison Tellier" is no exception. His illustration would have been instrumental in conveying the themes and setting of Maupassant's narrative to the readers of "Gil Blas," a periodical known for its role in promoting contemporary literature and the arts during the Belle Époque.

The illustration is characterized by Steinlen's distinctive style, which often includes the use of bold lines, a keen attention to detail, and a focus on the human figure. His work not only served as a visual representation of Maupassant's story but also as a standalone piece of art that reflects the cultural and artistic sensibilities of the time. Steinlen's contributions to the field of illustration during this period were significant, and his works remain influential in the history of graphic art and illustration.

The cover for "Gil Blas" featuring Steinlen's illustration for "La Maison Tellier" is a testament to the synergy between literature and visual arts during the late 19th century in France. It exemplifies the collaborative spirit between writers and artists, and the role of periodicals in bridging the gap between the two disciplines for the public's consumption.
