Lautrec began a project in 1898 which was intended
to include images of reknown entertainers of the time, along with written text about each one. The lithographs were
begun and a writer was hired. Thirteen lithographs were completed, but the project as a whole was never published.
Portfolios containing just the lithographs (the text was never finished) were published in 1906, a few years after Lautrec's
1901 death.
