In 1894, he American painter and designer Louis Comfort Tiffany planned the production of glass windows based on designs created by French artists including Bonnard, Denis, Vallotton, and Toulouse-Lautrec. Just a year later the windows were presented at the Paris Salon on the Champ de Mars and at the opening of Bing's gallery L'Art Nouveaux. Only a few are still in existence today, for example that based on the present design by Toulouse-Lautrec.
