Description

This 19th-century French advertisement poster announces the 'Carnaval de 1859' album from Maison Moreau, featuring 16 new costume designs illustrated by MM. Bayard and Gaildrau. The composition centers on an ornate theatrical vignette filled with elegantly costumed carnival revelers gathered beneath a draped stage, rendered in fine lithographic detail typical of Second Empire commercial printing. The poster promotes the album available for purchase at Maison Moreau, Rue des Filles Saint-Thomas 7 in Paris — a street in the 2nd arrondissement historically known for its proximity to the Bourse and fashionable commercial establishments.
