Introductory Wall Text   The Album of La Revue Blanche, a collection of prints commissioned by the late 19th century Parisian anarchist journal La Revue Blanche, provides not only an insight into popular fin-de-siècle French print culture, but also a beautiful case-study in the techniques developed by leading artists in the realm of fine art lithography.
