Berthon then developed his own style based on compositions of sharp lines and contours and a palette of ochre, green and pastel yellow. He studied Japanese engraving and the interpretation of flora in French medieval art. His production was mediocre, he made posters and what he called panneaux decoratifs, compositions in which he uses modernist language. He used lithographic, chromolithographic (at Chaix & Cie) and xylographic techniques. He also designed furniture (exhibited at the 1895 Salon), porcelain for Villeroy & Boch (late 1890s). In July 1897 he illustrated the famous cover of the magazine "L'Image" with a woodcut.
