New to the forum. I figure there's no better place to start with the "father of the modern poster".
-
Beautious, for sure. bed1
What size is this particular poster?
-
It's 48"x68". Printed in 1887. Not the typical "Cherette" that Cheret is more known for, but I like this one.
-
It looks great!!
Has it been linen backed?
-
Yes. When I bought it it was a bit of a wreck and was on a very old lining. I had it relined and it looks great now.
-
It looks really nice. Reason I asked was because i didnt see any fold lines either.
Your backer/restorer looks to have done a nice job. clap clap
-
This is an image I took before the reline. It doesn't really reflect how fragile the lining was but shows the fold lines more clearly.
-
Oh yeah... I can see.. especially when blown up. How delicate it was becoming, especially at the center cross fold.
But Cheret's work and his designs are like no other. notworthy.gif
GREAT looking poster.. i had to say it again.

Ive always loved the posters from this era, too, advertising products, shows, performances etc.
Hoping to add some to the ol' collection, one day, too.
And here's hoping you'll show us more, QPR. :)

Hot Dog! Great poster, QPR. Love those musketeers. Okie

Thanks guys! Here is another from my collection. Alfred Choubrac. Not as famous as Cheret, but an accomplished (and prolific) posterist in his own right, and capable of wonderful poster designs.
-
That is just stunning, to me.
Love the style, the art, and the subject matter. clap clap

Is this also a FR one panel size, too?

Just beautiful, QPR. bed1
What year is it from?
-
Its probably from 1899 or 1900. Here is another poster by Choubrac and printed at Bourgerie & Cie which is dated 1900 on the signature. Choubrac had been creating posters for over 20 years by 1900. The way he drew the woman's hair on the Biarritz poster suggest to me an appreciation of, and an influence by, Alphonse Mucha's great and elaborate Art Nouveau designs. Unfortunately Choubrac died in July 1902 at the age of 48.
-
He is a true artist just as Mucha was. With a style so much his own, too. And the stone lithography is so detailed and finessed. This one you just posted is another, true work of art. notworthy.gif
Is this piano advert poster about the same size as the Casino poster above?
(http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=12894.0;attach=8750;image)
-
Its slightly larger, measuring 38 1/2" x 54" (98cm x 137cm).
-
Very nice, QPR! It's getting classy in your thread! Okie
-
Very nice thumbsup.gif

Its been awhile, but here is another from my collection. "Triumph Cycles" by Misti (1907). Misti was a pseudonym of Ferdinand Mifliez (1865-1923). Also added a postcard image of the poster in action at a cycling exhibition in Rouen, France.

Pretty darn cool that you found a period image with your poster in it, QPRfan! Thank you for posting another beauty! Okie
