The Atelier initially specialized in wallpaper printing; however, this changed when the founder's grandson, invited a number of 20th century artists (Picasso, Miro, Chagall, Matisse, Leger, et al.) to work with him. Mourlot encouraged painters to work directly on lithographic stones to create original works of art, which could then be produced under the direction of master printers in small editions. The combination of a modern artist and a master printer resulted in lithographs that were used as posters to promote the artists' work.
