Description

This striking French retail poster advertises the annual summer sale ('Soldes d'Été') at Au Petit St. Thomas department store on Rue du Bac, Paris, offering 40–50% discounts on clothing and accessories. It features an elegantly dressed Victorian woman in a layered bustle gown accompanied by a child in a dark outfit, rendered in the detailed lithographic style of late 19th-century French commercial art. On a wall, it reads as a sophisticated slice of Parisian retail history, blending fashion illustration with period typography for a chic, story-rich decorative statement.
