Jules Chéret, 1891 · sourced from the Library of Congress.
About the artist
Jules Chéret is often called the father of the modern poster. His brightly colored chromolithographs for Paris theaters, dance halls, and aperitifs in the 1880s and 1890s set the visual template every poster artist after him would build on.
About this poster
This is a high-resolution digital restoration of L’Etendard français, bicyclettes et tricycles, originally created in 1891. The file you download has been carefully cleaned, color-balanced, and prepared for modern home printing while preserving the textures and color of the original chromolithograph.
Print & display
This poster is particularly well suited for cocktail bar and french bistros and other atmosphere-driven hospitality interiors where Belle Époque visual language is exactly right.
Best suited for 8×10 inches at 300 DPI sharpness. 11×14 and 16×20 are available but with some softening — fine for venue wall art viewed from across a room.
