Description
This vibrant Belle Époque lithographic advertisement depicts two elegantly dressed women and a child modeling ready-to-wear fashions — a metal-button veston at 15f.75 and a velour-trimmed cheviot costume at 39 francs — rendered in Chéret's signature bold poster style. The poster promotes Aux Buttes Chaumont, a celebrated Parisian department store located on the Boulevard de la Villette at the corner of Faubourg Saint-Martin, in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, named after the nearby Parc des Buttes-Chaumont. The warm red tones, dynamic figures, and typographic hierarchy exemplify the golden age of French affiche poster art for which Jules Chéret, often called the 'father of the modern poster,' was renowned.
