Description

This late 19th-century French advertising poster by Jules Chéret — the father of the modern poster — depicts two elegantly dressed women and a child in fashionable Victorian attire, promoting clothing items including a diagonal redingote for 29 francs and a plush visite for 69 francs. The poster advertises 'Aux Buttes Chaumont,' a department store located on the Boulevard de la Villette at the corner of the Faubourg Saint-Martin in Paris, a bustling commercial district in the 10th and 19th arrondissements. Rendered in Chéret's characteristic lithographic style with warm sepia tones and bold typography, the image captures the fashionable consumer culture of Belle Époque Paris.
