Illustrations<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Early in his career, Cappiello devoted all his time to caricature<\/a>. But he soon turned his attention to poster<\/a> art, with equal success. <\/p>\nHis fame had become so great that everyone sought him out to create book covers, magazine covers, invitation cards, etc. During the 1914-1918 war, he illustrated programs for sales or charity shows. His signature was a guarantee of success. <\/p>\n
In this way, he showed that he was also an excellent illustrator.<\/p>\n
Here are just a few of the major works that illustrate his talent<\/p>\n<\/div>

Between the covers of *Cri de Paris* around 1900 and those of *Miroir du Monde* on March 21, 1936, one can measure the full evolution of his illustrative art over 40 years.
