This is a turn-of-the-century poster advertising Saxoleine, a lamp oil. The glow from this lamp shows its owner basking in her own radiance. The poster has been archivally mounted on linen. It is in excellent condition.
It was Jules Cheret (French, 1836-1932) whose unique combination of artistic, technical and entrepreneurial talents was to pave the way for a true poster industry. After Cheret opened his own print shop in Paris in1866, his work continued to inspire emulators in Europe and America. From 1881 on, his shop operated as a branch of the large Chaix firm (Imprimerie Chaix - pronounced 'shecks').
