Voltaire. 1876.
Chéret created a number of designs for children's clothing and playthings, all of which share the same peculiar charm. There is something both nightmarish and fantastical about his characters: a grinning clown with elfin ears, a rabbit playing drums with a menacing look in his eye, a jolly potbellied man who swoops in with a sweet young child. The design announces clothing for men, young people, and children at Voltaire, which was located on the square now known as the Place de la République.
Size: 35 x 48 7/8 in./88.7 x 123.5 cm
Condition: A-/ Unobtrusive folds; slight stains at edges.
Printer: Imp. J. Chéret, Paris
Reference: Chéret, 946; Broido, 757
Key Words: Art Nouveau; Artist: Chéret; Children; Fashion
