Exposición Internacional de Madrid. 1893.
This exceptionally rare Grasset is an extravaganza of multiculturalism: a Russian-language poster, printed in France from the design of a French artist, to promote a Spanish event: the 1893 International Exposition in Madrid. It's additionally remarkable for its medley of patterns and textures: crinkly sky, wavy hair, triangle cloak, square-patterned dress, laurel leaves, and wavy rivulets of water echoing the pattern in the stone. The structure in the background is likely the Palacio Real de Madrid.
Size: 42 5/8 x 58 7/8 in./108.4 x 149.6 cm
Condition: B/ Slight tears and stains at folds and edges.
Printer: Imp. Lemercier, Paris
