An Original Vintage Unfolded French Gallery Poster (30x42; measures 29 3/4" x 42") (Learn More) Edition Sagot-Estampes and Affiches Illustres (literally translates to "Edition Sagot-Prints and Illustrious Posters"), the 1890s French poster promoting the Edouard Sagot Gallery in Paris, and featuring art by Paul Helleu. In the late 1890s gallery owner Edouard Sagot asked artist Paul Helleu to make a poster to advertise his gallery. Helleu's approach was different in that he didn't do a typical portrait but rather drew an image of a fashionable female customer sitting within Sagot's store inspecting prints. We have heard from a collector that "Besides being a compelling image, this is a very desirable piece from a historical perspective. Edouard Sagot holds a prominent place in the history of the French poster, because he recognized the artistic merit of posters and featured them in his gallery in the 19th century." Artist: Paul Helleu Condition: very good to fine. There are pieces of tape on the back of the poster across the top edge (from it having been displayed at one time). The poster is in otherwise quite nice condition especially considering it is approximately 110 years old! Learn More about condition grades
