A Linenbacked French Art Exhibition Poster (measures 29 3/4" x 42" [76 x 107 cm]) (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 Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this poster, and only one in the last 14 years! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had just a few creases and scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed with no excess, and after it was backed, it was either framed or slightly roughly handled, because there are a few minor creases and "bumps" in the right border, but they are truly very minor.
