About The Poster: In the 1890s Georges Ondet, a publisher located at 83 Faubourg St. Denis in Paris, published an illustrated collection of music sheets called Paris en chansons (Paris in Song). With music and lyrics by some of the best loved French poets, lyricists and romantic authors, and sketches by artists like Steinlen, Ibels, Misti and others, these quickly became collectors items which were snapped up as soon as they were released.
Misti was born and raised in Paris and because of this, was able to depict Parisian life flawlessly. He trained at the renowned printing house Chaix where he became primarily known as an engraver, lithographer and illustrator of beautiful women. He created his first poster in 1893, and later became one of the busiest posterists of mistime, following in the footsteps of his mentor, Jules Cheret.
In very good condition with an obvious mainline fold. Ready to frame.
