This large-format poster features a striking detail from Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, one of the most celebrated bodies of work in Impressionist history. These posters were produced in limited numbers for museum display and promotion during the exhibition tour and were never reissued, making surviving examples increasingly collectible.

Printed in 1978 using high-quality offset lithography, the colors remain rich and vibrant, with excellent detail in the brushwork and tonal transitions typical of late-1970s museum printings.

Condition

The poster has been stored rolled for many years, as was standard for museum posters. It presents in very good vintage condition, with light edge wear and gentle waviness consistent with age and tube storage. No tears, no missing paper, no water damage, and no fading. Any minor edge wear will be easily hidden with standard matting when framed.
