Description
This vibrant Belle Époque lithographic advertisement depicts two elegantly dressed Parisian women in dark, ruffled bustle gowns, one holding a parasol, set against a soft green ground with bold red-and-black display lettering. The poster promotes 'Aux Filles du Calvaire,' a fashion house located at 1–3–5–7–9 Rue des Filles du Calvaire — a street in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, near the Place de la République — announcing a summer novelties exposition with prices for a visiting dress (25 francs) and a costume (9f75). Created by Jules Chéret, the pioneering French poster artist credited with elevating commercial lithography to fine art, this piece exemplifies his signature style of dynamic figures and vivid chromolithographic color.
