POLICHINELLE. 1898.
Camis, Paris.
691/2x23 inches.
- Notes: Realier-Dumas belongs to a generation of academic painters who opted to design posters when poster art was the craze of Paris. He was the only one to invent a unique style perfectly suited to the medium. His elongated women, with clear outlines and soft colors along with the vertical format that he favored make his posters easy to recognize. For Polichinelle, a weekly magazine for children published by Flammarion he depicts a loving mother and her daughter. The peaceful scene conveys the message that Polichinelle was a very restrained publication that could be placed into the hands of well educated children without their parents having anything to worry about. DFP II 737.
- Condition: Condition B: paper loss, repaired tears and creases in margins; creases in image; vertical and horizontal folds.
