Rare original Breger & Javal "Impressions su Metal" turn of the century (1899) original poster. Artist: Louis-Theophile Hingre. Art nouveau style, very similar to Alphonse Mucha's works. Archival linen-backed and ready to frame.

This poster was created for the change to a new century from 1899 to 1900. Archival acid-free linen backed and ready to frame. Beautiful gold work done in two different tones. Gold in the hair and the zodiacs is brighter gold, and the gold behind her face is old gold.

Condition: Linen-backed. Small repairs along the cream border and the marron in a few places. Touch-up of gold in the lowest border on the bottom Touch-ups in the left side in maroon. Remember that this poster is over 123 years old.

Every day of the year has a saint listed at the bottom of this image; you can read every one of them. You do have to have good eyesight because the printing is very tiny! The artist's name is on the lower right side and is shown in one of the images; it is faint. In the same area is ghost-printed Mil Neuf Cent. (1900).

Clearly an admirer of Mucha, Hingre worked in metal and stone sculpture in addition to being a graphic artist. [PAI-XIII, 255]

His posters rarely come up, even for auction. His known sculptures pay homage to many different animals, including mice, birds, and even bulls.

This poster shows a 12-month calendar beneath the woman's bust. Note the zodiac symbols in the archway framing her, as well as the rope latticework that wraps the design's upper portion. Two very 3- dimensional butterflies are visiting a flower on her shoulder. The calendar section at the bottom has legible names of every Saint for every day of the year.
