About the Item

The 1897 original exhibition poster by Henry Thiriet for Pierrefort Estampes et affiches is a beautiful example of late 19th-century French graphic design. Created to promote an exhibition at 12 Rue Bonaparte, this poster exemplifies the sophistication and artistic values of the period, reflecting the importance of printmaking and graphic art in France during the late 1800s. Henry Thiriet, a talented French artist, was well-known for his work in the fields of illustration and poster design. For this particular exhibition, Thiriet’s design successfully captured the spirit of the event: a celebration of printmaking and the art of the affiche (poster) itself. The exhibition showcased works by various artists and printmakers, including the renowned Pierrefort, whose prints and affiches were being displayed to a public eager to appreciate the technical and artistic mastery of the medium. The poster emphasizes the connection between fine art and commercial advertising, bridging the gap between decorative prints and utilitarian advertisements. Thiriet’s use of typography, layout, and design conveys a sense of elegance and cultural significance. The venue, 12 Rue Bonaparte, was a well-known address for exhibitions during this time, and this poster was key in attracting visitors who wished to experience the cutting-edge works being displayed. The Pierrefort Estampes et affiches exhibition itself was significant in further establishing the poster as an art form in its own right, with a focus on high-quality prints that captured the essence of French artistic movements during the turn of the century. As an important part of the cultural scene, the exhibition celebrated the achievements of the printmaking community, while also offering an opportunity for the public to immerse themselves in the visual language of French posters. This 1897 exhibition poster is a fantastic piece of graphic history, highlighting both the artist’s skill and the cultural context of the time. It stands as a testament to the burgeoning importance of graphic design and posters in French artistic life.
