Description
A vibrant Belle Époque lithographic advertisement featuring a charming young girl in a red-and-white striped costume playfully embracing a large lion, set against a vivid teal background. The poster announces an annual clearance sale — 'Mise en vente annuelle de toutes les marchandises' — held on Monday, 4 July at Aux Filles du Calvaire, a novelty goods shop located at 1-3-5-7-9 Rue des Filles du Calvaire and 96 Rue de Turenne in Paris, a street in the Marais district named after a nearby Calvary chapel. Jules Chéret, widely regarded as the father of the modern poster, created this piece in his signature style — bold lettering, lively figures, and a sense of joyful movement that helped define late 19th-century Parisian commercial art.
