The title page of *Japonisme: Dix eaux-fortes* introduces a portfolio of ten etchings, the kind of printed album that gave the French art world a way to talk about its growing fascination with Japanese design. The word "japonisme" was popularized in Paris in the early 1870s, when critics such as Philippe Burty used it to describe artists who borrowed Japanese prints' flat color, bold outlines, and asymmetrical compositions. Because the title page frames the whole set, it shows how the publisher presented Japanese influence as a deliberate artistic movement rather than a passing curiosity.
