Description

This bold French advertising poster promotes an annual clearance sale at Aux Filles du Calvaire, a Paris department store located on Rue des Filles du Calvaire and Rue de Turenne, announcing events on Monday the 1st of February. The design features a dramatic central image of a young girl in a red-and-white striped outfit embracing a large lion, surrounded by energetic typography in red and black on a sage green background. On a wall it reads as a vivid, characterful piece of late 19th-century commercial art with a playful theatricality that suits eclectic and vintage-inspired interiors.
