Salon des Cent \("Salon of the One Hundred"\) was a commercial art exhibition in Paris, based at 31 Rue Bonaparte. The Salon sold colour posters, prints and reproductions of artwork to the general public at reasonable prices. It was established in February 1894 by Léon Deschamps \(1860-1913\), founder of La Plume \("The Pen"\), an avant-garde literary and artistic magazine. It became known for its exhibitions showcasing the works of contemporary graphical artists. The Salon held exhibitions until 1900. Many of the posters advertising Salon des Cent exhibitions have themselves become collectors' items. ## Related artworks - [A la Place Clichy]() - [Apparitions \(brooch\)]() - [Design for a Belt Buckle with Two Fish and Seaweed]() - [Encre L.
