Jules Chéret (1836-1932) is known as the Maître de l'Affiche, or the 'Father of the poster'.This is primarily due to his groundbreaking developments in the colour lithographic process, but can also be attributed to his prolific output and ostentatious style: Chéret was capable of rendering even the most banal of subjects sensational. This poster advertises the novel, 'Une Jeune Marquise: roman d'une névrosée' (A young Marchioness: novel of a neurotic) and depicts a suitably distressed-looking young woman sitting at the foot of a tree, while a lone male figure carrying a sword roams the background.
