About this artwork
This is a poster advertising Le Petit Caporal, a daily newspaper, made by Jules Chéret in 1876. It is a colour lithograph and measures 82 by 60 centimetres, a generous size for a street poster. Chéret was a French painter and lithographer who became a leading figure in Belle Époque poster art, and he has often been called the father of the modern poster. Pieces like this one belong to the history of French newspaper advertising, when posters were a main way of calling the public's attention to the press of the day.
On your wall: It suits a study, hallway or sitting room where a retro touch is welcome, particularly in homes that enjoy vintage posters and the look of French print history.
