Jules Cheret: Family of Sailors, Original Signed Lithograph, 1897.

  

Jules Cheret Charity Festival for the Benefit of Shipwrecked Sailors' Families, 1897. On fine vellum 39 x 29 cm. Authenticated by the dry stamp of the publisher "Les Maîtres de l'affiche" and "Imprimerie Chaix".

This lithograph was published by Les Maîtres de l'Affiche at Imprimerie Chaix in 1897. It was part of the eponymous portfolio (plate no. 89) which featured the most beautiful illustrated posters by the great artists of the time. Very good condition, slightly yellowed paper, small defects at the edge of the sheet. This is indeed the original edition, not a modern reprint.
