EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Affiche pour 'la Gomme'" and created by the renowned French artist Jules Cheret in the early 1900s, transports us back to the Belle Époque era in Paris. Published by Imprimerie Chaix, this stunning work of art showcases the carefree enjoyment of high society during this period. The image features a group of elegantly dressed men and women, clad in fashionable apparel of the time, gathered around a table in a dimly lit room. A man in a top hat and another in a bowler hat engage in animated conversation, while a woman in a beige dress and a hat adorned with a feather playfully tosses a rubber ball, or "la gomme," in the air. The use of black color and lower case lettering adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The artwork, which was likely used as a poster or lithograph, is a testament to the Maitres de l'Affiche movement and the influence of Art Nouveau on graphic design during the 20th century. The intricate details and elegant lettering in the French text further enhance the allure of this piece, making it a valuable addition to any art or literature collection. This beautiful print, now part of the Wallach Division Picture Collection at the New York Public Library, serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and social history of Paris during the Belle Époque era. Whether displayed on a wall or in a book, it continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its timeless charm and artistic mastery.
