sentences:  His poster for the railway line between Paris and Monaco-Monte-Carlo (1897) did not show a train or any identifiable scene of Monaco or Monte-Carlo; it showed a beautiful young woman in a kind of reverie, surrounded by swirling floral images, which suggested the turning wheels of a train.The fame of his posters led to success in the art world; he was invited by Deschamps to show his work in the "Salon des Cent" exhibition in 1896, and then, in 1897, to have a major retrospective in the same gallery showing 448 works.The magazine "La Plume" made a special edition devoted to his work, and his exhibition traveled to Vienna, Prague, Munich, Brussels, London, and New York, giving him an international reputation.
