Description

A vibrant Belle Époque advertising poster by Jules Chéret — the father of the modern poster — promoting the Galeries Sédanaises department store at 6 Grande Rue, Sedan, France. Three elegantly dressed women in dark Victorian gowns and feathered hats are presented alongside price listings for ladies' fashions including a 'Visite' cloak, 'Fédora' costume, and 'Nanette' paletot, with the boast of matching Paris prices. Sedan is a historic city in the Ardennes region of northeastern France, and this poster exemplifies Chéret's signature lithographic style of fashionable figures set against a soft tonal background.
