Description

This late-19th-century French lithographic advertisement depicts two elegantly dressed women in dark Victorian bustle gowns against a muted sage-green background, promoting a summer fashion exposition with prices listed in francs. The poster advertises 'Aux Filles du Calvaire,' a commercial establishment located at Rue des Filles du Calvaire and Rue de Turenne in Paris — a street in the 3rd arrondissement named after a historic Calvary chapel established there in the 17th century. The bold decorative lettering and fashionable figures are characteristic of Jules Chéret's celebrated Belle Époque poster style, which helped define the golden age of French commercial lithography.
