Jules Chéret—often celebrated as the father of the modern poster—brought Parisian life to vivid, joyful motion. This 1896 original lithograph, Palais de Glace – Champs‑Élysées, is Plate 57 from the iconic Les Maîtres de l’Affiche series, printed by Imprimerie Chaix, Paris.
A hallmark of Belle Époque design, the work captures a spirited skater gliding across the ice, rendered in radiant reds, blues, and golds that remain instantly recognizable within Chéret’s celebrated palette. The sheet bears both Chéret’s signature and the official blind stamp in the lower right corner—key authenticity markers prized by collectors.
This example is printed on Japan paper, the most desirable paper type used in the series, known for its warm tone and subtle texture. It is professionally framed in a black gallery frame with an archival white mat, preserving the original proportions and presenting the artwork with refined simplicity. The matting enhances the gentle, historic toning of the paper, creating a display‑ready piece suited for sophisticated interiors—from Parisian eclectic to mid‑century modern, European classic, or contemporary curated spaces.
